The Dethroned Prince

The arrival of a brother or little sister to the family can be a very hard time for his firstborn. To date, he or she has been the center of attention, pampering and attention of parents and now, suddenly, overnight, you have to cede some of its space to a new little person, crybaby that spends too much time in the arms of his mother.

As much as nine months, parents have been warning the eldest son to the arrival of a sibling and I have tried to share in his joy at the new paternity, the child fails to understand that emotion, not even able to guess how will change your situation.

Jealousy is inevitable feelings. There are children that can get worse and others better, but everyone will feel somewhat displaced, underserved and dethroned. Sooner or later they will become accustomed to their new situation, to share the love of parents, aunts and uncles and grandparents with this baby that everybody says you have to want.

It is possible that since the birth of new child or even weeks before you leave the belly of her mother, the child to be irritable, cuddly, with absurd tantrums and anger. He senses that something is happening but you can not understand it. They see and hear our comments and our responses, although we think we are distracted. They gather information and begin to feel insecure.

Be very tactful and very patient with older siblings when a baby arrives home. We must be attentive to our actions and demonstrations of affection and make an effort to give equal attention to both. For parents it is a difficult time but we do know that we love them both equally, while the eldest son can doubt and think that we want more small.

For them it is even harder and complicated, fare worse than we imagine, so we must try to be more sympathetic to his irrational behavior as possibly just want to call and retrieve the attention that is taking her little brother.
