Natalia, hello. Are there any fairy tales that will help prepare your daughter for the birth of a brother? My daughter is 5 years old, she wanted a little sister, but a brother is planned. But I also agree with my brother :) My daughter wants a baby, but I'm afraid that after his birth she will be very jealous of us for him, because there is spoiledness and selfishness in her character. What works are worth reading so that even before the birth of a son, a daughter feels a kinship to him?
Hello, your worries are understandable, since children at this age still experience many fears associated with loneliness and parting with their mother. Therefore, it is imperative to prepare a child for the birth of a second, this will reduce anxiety and help the child adapt to the idea that a baby will appear in the family.
It is best to say this at a time when the belly begins to round, as waiting too long for children is very tiring. You can read to your child the work of the fairy tale therapist Tatyana Zinkevich-Evstigneeva "The Tale of the Bear Cub", Dina Trushina "The Tale of the Eldest Daughter". OV Khukhlaeva, OE Khukhlaeva "The Tale of a Dog named Tobik". Or you yourself can come up with a story that will reflect a similar situation. That is, the main character will be the older child, and the second character will be the baby.
The main task of all these fairy tales is to help the child cope with the anxiety caused by the birth of a baby in the family. Tell your child about what is happening to you, let's touch the tummy, take him for an ultrasound scan, show him photos where he was also so small. Let him help you when choosing toys and clothes for the baby, it may be worth visiting friends and acquaintances where there is already a child.
Use play therapy, you can buy a set of dolls - a pregnant mother and a baby, draw drawings for the future baby together, choose songs and music. Explain that the life of your family will change with the birth of your baby, but that you will still love and care for him.
