Plenty of Love for All

Here are some tips to help both your baby and your older children feel secure and loved:

• Set aside a time to be alone with your older children. Let them pick an activity they would like to do.
• Tell them stories about what you did with them when they were babies.
• When you are doing things with your baby, let your older children take part. For example, let them help pick out a book to read to their siblings and sit with you when you read to your baby.
• Teach your older children how to play some of the games described in this magazine with the baby under your supervision.
• After you put your baby to bed one night, have a pizza party or special meal with your older children.
