Mothers are the ones whom children usually depend on. They have the natural way to calm children and appease them with all their discomforts. No one can really bring the greatest love other than the mother whom the child adores.
However, children who become too inclined with their mother may tend to be possessive and this can really bring complications once the mother gets pregnant to another child. In order to avoid complications it would really be necessary for a pregnant mother to think of the best ways to prepare their child for the changes that will happen aside from buying a maternity support belt or a pregnancy belly band and focus on the things that the new baby would need.
Here are some of the best ways to prepare your child for the coming of the new family member:
- Give your child the assurance that your love for him/her will not change even when the new baby arrives.
- Give your child to have an active participation on the preparation for the new baby in order for her to adjust and accept the baby easily.
- Bring your child a gift every time you go shopping for the new baby’s things. Tell your child that the gift came from the baby in your womb in order for your child to get fond with the idea of having a new baby in the house.
- Tell your child stories of how things were when he/she was still in your womb.
- Show respect to your child’s things and his/her place in the house in order to avoid creating thoughts that would make your child despise the baby.
As a mother it would be important to make your child feel secure in spite of the changes that may come along with the idea of having a new baby in the house. A new family member may be seen as a threat to a child’s position in the household but with a mother’s unconditional love and dedication, there’d be no reason for a child to have ill-feelings whatever happens.
