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.
