The New Baby
A friend of mine who is expecting a baby is planning to send her four-yearold daughter to her grandmother’s when the new baby is due. The little girl will stay a month with her grandmother. Is this a good practice or should the little daughter stay at home in order to feel that she is an important member of the family at a very important time? In my judgment, you are correct when you infer that the little daughter should be kept ar homessthatshe eatsfeel that she is an important member of the family at a very important time. It is to be hoped that the mother and father have talked very naturally in front of.their little daughter about the coming into the home of the new baby, and that she has had some part in planning for its arrival. She will be interested in the clothing the mother is making for the baby, and in the possible name that may be given to it. In the family discussion, let the reference always be to “our baby” so the little girl will have a feeling of possession toward the newcomer. When the mother goes to the hospital and during the first few weeks after the baby comes home, it is exceedingly important that the'little girl be given plenty of attention and affection so that she will not feel that the baby has usurped her place in the family. Be patient with her if she acts more “babyish” than usual. Praise her when she shows delight in and is kind to the new baby. w
Remember that in spite of the best of planning, these will be difficult days for her as it is not easy to be content when mother spends so much time with the newcomer.
