The birth of the first baby of
the family is often a great event. All families are scrambling to hold the
baby, feed or play with him. This situation of excessive attention spans a few
years, but the arrival of second son will cause a complete change of attitude
that the child will notice and suffer.
In this approach involuntary
sibling jealousy arise. The eldest brother feels the unborn steal your love and
attention that were once theirs, so that the attitude of parents and family is
very important to avoid conflict and depression in the infant.
The importance of care
When the child is jealous of his
brother, shows some signs of alarm. Usually when people are upset with the new
baby or spend hours attending to it, commits mischief that had not done to
attract attention or behave like a baby thinking that can compete.
Okay scold the child when he does
something bad to get attention, but do not be too severe. On the contrary, we
must strengthen the affection felt for him, so be aware that not to do anything
to get attention.
A great responsibility
One way to help children
assimilate the arrival of his younger brother is involving them in the care of
the child, age-appropriate tasks.
When the child feels that looking
after her brother and parents are giving him a great responsibility, you feel
that you have confidence and affection.
Shared care
While spending hours watching,
attending and cuddling the baby is pretty tempting, we should pay equal
attention to the firstborn, and it really resent the lack of parental attention
and family.
Share this with both at once,
look for ways to involve them and spend time with each one separately. The
child also missed to talks alone with mom or dad.
