bringing home a new baby is exciting for us… but for our toddlers? it can feel like their whole world just flipped upside down🌪️🩵⁠ ⁠ ⁠ suddenly, they’re sharing your time… your arms… and your attention & that shift can bring out BIG feelings:⁠ ⁠ 👉 Tantrums⁠ 👉 Regression (think potty accidents, clinginess, or sleep changes)⁠ 👉 Jealousy mixed with love⁠ ⁠ ⁠ here’s what they’re really saying beneath the behavior:⁠ ⁠ “Do I still matter? Am I still your baby too?”⁠ ⁠ 🌱 How to help them adjust:⁠ ⁠ ✔️ Talk openly about the changes before and after the baby arrives⁠ ✔️ Name and validate their feelings (“It’s okay to feel mad or confused”)⁠ ✔️ Create special 1:1 moments (even 5 minutes of focused connection helps)⁠ ✔️ Remind them often: “You’ll always have a special place in my heart.”⁠ Adjustment takes time—for all of you. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ You’re not doing it wrong. ❤️ This is what growth and change look like.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Save this for a day when it feels extra hard ✨⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #BigSibling #ToddlerParentin...
