Your toddler hasn’t developed the ability to empathise yet, so they won’t really see things from anyone else’s perspective but their own. So if you’re expecting another baby, that’s fantastic but there’s some preparation to be done if your toddler is going to share your excitement once the baby is born.
You can help by making them feel involved and helping them understand what is going to happen. It’s also about explaining what it will be like once the new baby comes, that mummy will be busy for a while because young babies take a lot of care. But that it doesn’t mean your toddler isn’t adored or cared for. This is really the basic challenge, supporting your toddler as they adapt to a new family experience and helping them to realise that you have enough love for both of them .
