problems with other children?
I am a mother a very beautiful 4 year old and the day we found out we were expecting our second child, she has become very rude, disrespectful, and disobedient. I am trying to be ands patient and understanding with her as possible, any ideas or and at some kind of advice to help her or me even.
She's excited for the baby to be here she wants to help buy stuff but since I'm still early and not sure what I'm having we just look, like she has gone back to having to sleep in the bed or wherever I'm sleeping right next to me. If I get up she knows. She is acting out really bad in school. Like before this baby she was a little angel granted yes she got in trouble every once in a while, who doesn't, but now, she is like the complete opposite.
My daughter had a fit in the beginning too. She wouldnt want me to touch her, sleep with her, or play with her. I started playing with her doll and would ask her if she could help me with her sister. I asked if she could pick out clothes for her at the store, what kind of blanket she should get, how many bottles. Ect. Shes only two but she felt the difference any way so i had to come up with a way she felt loved and included. When i go out with her i buy her something and the baby too. I spend a lot of one on one with her as well. Walking together, going for breakfast, playing at the park and going to the library. . . we watch movies and we cuddle. . . now shes really excited and cant wait for her baby sister to get here.
I have the same problem now. Meditation and patience is key. You may not realize it but she sees that she isn't getting all the attention anymore. Everything toy or clothing that's being bought from the store isn't for her anymore. It's going yu take awhile for her to adjust. If haven't already, once the baby starts kicking let her feel and show her an ultrasound. Tell her that's going to be a new baby that she can dress up and stuff with. Just to get her a lil more on the positive side.
Just let her know that you will love and care for her just as much as the baby, take her out just the two and do a little bonding with her
