    • See picture books about another child. At any rate, your kid will get comfortable with words like "sister," "sibling," and "new child."


    • At the point when the new child shows up, attempt to accomplish something unique for your more established youngster. Promise her that she is as yet cherished.


    Pre-schoolers - Ages 2 To 4 Years

Your kid additionally might be extremely touchy to change and may feel undermined by the possibility of another relative. Here are a few ideas that may help slide your pre-schooler into being an older sibling or elder sibling.


    • Disclose it to your kid when you begin purchasing nursery furniture or child garments or on the off chance that he begins getting some information about the mother's developing "stomach".


    • Be straightforward. Clarify that the child will be adorable and cuddly yet will likewise cry and take a great deal of your time and consideration.

    School-Aged Children - for Ages 5 and above

    • Try not to ignore your more seasoned youngster's necessities and exercises. Tell her the amount you love her. Put forth an attempt to invest some energy alone with her every day; utilize that as an opportunity to remind her how exceptional she is.


    These might be a few ways in which the father might try and make the situation easier for his baby. The time would indeed be a roller coaster for the child as much as it would be for the parents. Thus, abiding by a few tricks as such might help to smoothen out the situation.
