Prevent Sibling Jealousy When New Baby Arrives

Pay Attention To Older Child First

UPDATED: 2:09 p.m. EST January 14, 2004

Having another child can bring endless hours of joy to a family, but it can also bring jealousy among siblings.

In "Connecting with Kids," NewsChannel5 reported that there are ways to help older children cope.

Child psychologists say many times when a new baby is brought into the home the older child will regress and try to become the baby again.

That child simply wants attention, WEWS reported.

Doctors say you should tell family members to greet the older child first when they come over, before turning their attention to the baby.

Also, have grandma or grandpa watch the baby so you can still have one-on-one time with your other little one.
