Parenting Tips on Jan. 5 Fox 4 Morning News:Planning for a Sibling


When we add a new baby to the household, sometimes our children have mixed feelings about the event. Tune into Fox 4 to hear our expert share ideas and
tips to help your child feel loved and respected as he faces the prospect of a new sibling.

Before the baby comes
  • Revisit your child’s baby pictures
  • Read books about new babies
  • Attend a sibling classes
  • Visit a friend with new babies

When the baby arrives
  • Make sure not everything is shared
  • Keep your child involved
  • Allow, not insist, on helping
  • Present new baby from child’s point of view
