Do you have a new one on the way and not sure how your kiddo(s) will react? It’s always a little stressful when a newborn’s arrival is imminent, but there are ways to prepare them for their cool new role as a “big.” Here are 5 gift ideas that are sure to instill a sense of pride and excitement.
- A Big Brother Tshirt or Big Sister Tshirt can be presented when you first break the news and they can also proudly wear it to the hospital to meet their new “little”
- Personalized childrens gifts, like a I’m a Big Sister or Big Brother books, let them know they are special and unique, especially when they’re feeling a bit jealous of the attention the new baby is receiving
- Role playing is a great teaching tool and a mama and baby doll can create opportunities to share how to be responsible, gentle and caring with babies.
- Whether they’ll be sharing a room or not, having the big sibling create a piece of art for the nursery or their room will make them feel like they are already a big part of the baby’s life (Image courtesy of Pinterest)
