Is Your First Born Jealous?

Don't blame everything on the new baby
Be careful not to say things like: "We can't go to the park because the baby's sleeping;" "Be quiet, you'll wake the baby;" or "After I change the baby I'll help you." At this point, your child would just as soon sell the baby! Instead, use alternate reasons. "My hands are busy now;" "We'll go after lunch;" "I'll help you in three minutes."
