Strategies for Including Older Child When Introducing New Baby
Include the older child in tasks without making it feel like a chore. Engage them in age-appropriate activities like helping with diaper changes and filling cups. Ensure the older child receives one-on-one time with the other parent to fulfill emotional needs. Anticipate difficulties as older children may feel neglected and struggle with the new baby's arrival. Avoid additional stressors like accidents or incidents happening right before the new baby's arrival to ease the transition.
