Sibling Showdown & Meltdown ! Even if you do everything I’ve just suggested, your child will still act up at times. These problems are a normal part of becoming an older sibling. Here’s how to tackle them:
Tip 20 Help your older child feel important.
Get your older child involved in tasks to help e.g. “Bring me a nappy and the wipes, please,” or “Let’s dress and bathe Freddie together.”
Feeling needed helps many children relish the older sibling role.
Then thank your older child by saying, “Thank you for being such a good big sister (or big brother).”
With a little parental guidance, siblings can grow up to be close pals and great friends. Friends come and go, but family is forever.
