Children learn what they live. Your older child will be watching as you handle the baby and learning from your actions.Whenever you see the older kid doing something commendable or playing with his sibling, you must encourage him by making a positive comment and also by praising him. Be supportive of the elder sibling. When a kid knows that you understand his feelings, then he will have less need to act up to get your attention. Increase your little demonstrations of love for your child. Avoid comparing siblings, even about seemingly innocent topics

Jealousy between siblings

Ever since my elder son had a sibling, he has been jealous of his small sister. He always disturbs her and makes sure that she cries. He also irritates her a lot. when I scold him, he gets angry. I do not know how to deal with this. I sometimes try to ignore him and sometimes love him more so that he does not feel less loved but still this is not helping. If i praise the younger one for something, then all the hell breaks loose. Please advice.

This type of behaviour is quite normal in young kids. The elder kid feels a bit deprived and if this issue is not taken up sooner then it may lead to a feeling of loneliness in him. Take the matter into your hands now and give him the message that you love him and need him. instead of treating him as a big boy, treat him as a child and also make him feel important. Plan your schedules in such a manner that you have some time left to spend with him to so that he understands that though you are busy, you still took time out for him cos you love him. all this will atke time so have patience and do it gradually.

Theatre Class
I personally don' t find it interesting. However, recently I had to take my child to theatre as he was in a play in school and he & his theatre group wanted to see a real life play. Suprisingly, I liked the play.

Lesson from Children
Obviously adults can learn a lot from kids particularly their helping tendency. I happened to realize this last week in my kid’s school Orchids International where a kid helped her classmate to get up when she fell down in middle of a running race. Children are innately pure and free from jealousy or malice and most often than not, they teach a thing or two to us!

Good Habits in kids
It is important for kids to develop good habits like spending time on homework and chores. It can be challenging to set time aside for responsibilities when school schedules demand so much time. The challenge for parents is working good habits within so much school schedule shuffling that inevitably goes on. For the parents, good judgment is required to determine how and w... - Sonia Sharma [View Message]

sleeping position
I always prefer to sleep on my stomach. I find this position very soothing and relaxing. I have heard that sleeping on stomach is not good for health, as one can get obese. Is this true? I tried changing my position but then could not sleep peacefully. ... - Deepun [View Message]

Sleeping on tummy
I do not think that sleeping on stomach gives rise to any health issues. I am also a stomach sleeper. Tummy sleepers are level headed. Recently I have tried sleeping on my back but then I got backache so I continued with my tummy sleeping position. do not worry as it does not give rise to health issues. ... - Samir [View Message]
