Prepare your Children for the Arrival of a New Baby

Prepare your Children for the Arrival of a New Baby

Take them to visit friends with small babies. This can help children learn that a new baby will not be much of a playmate for a while. Show them books with pictures and stories about babies. Talk about all the things they can do now that babies can't do. Your "big" children can walk, talk, and do all sorts of clever things. Help them to feel very pleased and proud of themselves.
