is there sibling rivalry in your house?

I dont have children but i have my siblings.Its natural that we feel that our parents love the other one than us and we will understand it later after we give birth to our own child that there wont be anything like that.I think if you explain your child then she can understand as she is 9 yr old.But try to pay attention to both if possible.

we dont have sibling rivalry, what ever succes that we have we are share it to each other, what my bro and sis' succes in their life is mine too.

My son says her friend had told him that his parents will be paying more attention to the new born once she comes.So he is okay with it,lol. Already prepared for this. I do not have any problems at least now like this. My son adores his sister. We had always spoken about her with him and changes that will take place once new child comes home all the time during my pregnancy. He adjusted very well to the changes and he helps me all the time to take care of the baby. I feel getting children involved in raising the younger siblings reduces the chances of rivalry between them. Try speaking to your daughter about what is troubling her. he may ned assurance from you that you still love her the same way. Saying sorry for negelcting her in any way is a good idea. You may not feel so but sometimes kids do feel that way and its better that you team up with your elder one and raise the younger one involving her too. Thats the best way to deal with sibling rivalry.
