Sometimes it can be hard when a new little one comes into the family. The older sibling may feel a little left out despite our best efforts. It can help to make sure to put aside some time each day for the older brother or sister to have some "special time" with his or her parents while a Grandparent or friend takes care of the new baby. A gift especially for the older sibling (perhaps FROM the new baby) is an excellent way to make the older child feel special and to let them know that being the Big Sister or Big Brother is a very important role in your growing family.
