How can I help an existing child adapt to a new baby?

Help Them Brag

Getting a new baby brother or sisiter can be a hard transitional period for a child to go through. It's a thoughtful idea to buy a special older sibling gift for that big sis or bro to help him or her through the event. The best kinds of gifts to give are ones that stress the importance and honor involved in becoming an older sibling.

Let the existing child know that this is something to brag about. Buy him or her a blank t-shirt and have it personalized with the phrase "big sister" or "big brother" on it. Tell them that this extra special shirt will help them let the world know what a big important job they are about to have.
