Nearly every parent who has an additional child after their firstborn worries about how their older child will adjust to this incredibly major change in their family. Many popular books and social media accounts claim to have the method for preparing your child for the birth of a sibling, yet most are not research-based. For example, there is no research study suggesting that the baby give a present to the older child or that parents should not hold the baby when the older child enters the room, yet this is often the only advice parents get. It would be very helpful to have research-backed tips that actually acknowledge that this transition lasts beyond the point that children meet their baby siblings in the hospital!

So what can research tell us about the older sibling’s adjustment to having a new baby sibling? How hard is this transition really? Is there anything you can do as a parent to make this transition a little easier? Is there any way to help yourself as a parent through this transition?

Do you try to control your kid’s behavior?

Many of us try — probably because so many people think it’s a parent’s JOB to control their kid!

💥 Newsflash: You can’t actually control your kid’s behavior! Yes, they’re your child, but they’re also human beings and realistically you can’t *make* them do or not do something, any more than you can *make* your partner put their dirty laundry in the hamper instead of on the floor. 😅

🤔 So many parent struggles stem from us trying to get kids to change how they act. What if we thought about it in a different way?

🧠 If we focus instead on what we CAN control—our own behavior!—we can still guide kids towards the essential skills and behaviors they need to learn, without turning everything into a battle of wills.

😌 It starts by taking a deep breath and making your response into a calm, kind “I” statement. This also helps model the type of behavior you’re trying to teach.

💯 Notice that many of these examples include setting up logical, enforceable consequences for our kids…but framing them in a way that gives kids the space to make their own choices, and learn from those choices.

Your baby is learning so much about feelings and emotions. Try this activity with your baby to help them make connections.

Activity: Mirror Me (0-2 years)

Use: Anytime, Anywhere

Description: Children feel many different emotions every day, just like you. Make faces that mirror how your child seems to be feeling. Talk to them about why you're making those faces. "You're smiling and seem happy, and I am smiling and happy too."

Brainy Background: When you imitate the face your child makes, you help them express what they think and feel even though they can't speak yet. These conversations without words begin to help them learn about others' feelings and emotions!

Actividad: Copiame

Uso: En cualquier momento, en cualquier lugar

Descripción: Al igual que tú, los niños experimentan muchas emociones diferentes todos los días. Haz caras que reflejen cómo parece estar sintiéndose tu niño. Conversa con él sobre el por qué estás haciendo esas caras. "Estás sonriendo y pareces feliz y yo estoy sonriendo y también estoy feliz".

Fondo Inteligente: Cuando imitas la cara que hace tu niño, estás ayudándolo a expresar lo que está pensando y sintiendo a pesar de que todavía no pueda hablar. Estas "conversaciones sin palabras" comienzan a ayudarlo a aprender sobre los sentimientos y las emociones de los demás.

The importance of a healthy mouth both before and during pregnancy is not well-understood by most people. What we do know is that dental caries, the disease-process that leads to cavities, is caused by bacteria. Bacteria can spread and do so easily in families. Oral bacteria are no different, and for this reason it is important for pregnant women to reduce the amount of cavity-causing bacteria in their mouths before their baby is born.

At your next picnic, let the spotlight shine on your food — not on party crashers like Salmonella or Listeria. When temperatures rise and food safety steps aren’t followed, cold dishes at a cookout are at risk for unsafe bacteria levels. Avoid foodborne illness by following these steps: clean, separate, cook, chill.
