Читать книгу A New Baby at Koko Bear's House - Vicki Lansky - Страница 4

Introduction

The arrival of a new baby at your house is a major event and one that will have a strong impact on your older child(ren). We all worry about how the older child will react and how we can help him or her adjust. This new baby will change the older child’s position in the family and be a competitor for love and attention. Through all this, we must work to keep our child’s self-esteem intact.

One way you can help is by letting your child know what to expect. With that in mind, this story of the arrival of a new baby in KoKo Bear’s family will guide your child through the key stages of your pregnancy, delivery, and homecoming.

To help you make this a smooth transition, there are tips and suggestions for parents on every page. You can skim these silently while you and your child read about KoKo. For more detailed material and additional tips, you may wish to refer to my companion book, Practical Parenting WELCOMING YOUR SECOND BABY.

While it will be necessary to give your older child extra love and attention and to make time for your marital relationship, don’t make the mistake of not taking care of that necessary and very important person—YOU!

Sincerely,
