Hey mommy friends 😁. Any advice on how to help my 11 year old adjust to have a sibling soon? She’s been an only child up until now and she’s having a hard time accepting the little one.

Having an only child and educating them
Does having an only child affect the type of education you will give him? We give you some information on this subject.
- An only child gets all the attention from parents, so it's important to distance yourself and put your child in regular contact with other children.
- Try to preserve the child's childhood and have fun with them by putting yourself at their level.
- Don't think of an only child as being so different from other children.

Just found out that my child's daycare that she doesn't parallel play, she doesn't share toys with others, and was informed it is coming off borderline bullying...I don't know what to do. Help 🥺! Any tips of what I should do? She's an only child and we try to get her share all the time. #TerribleTwos #GirlMom

Well this will probably come off as a punishment but it’s really not. Try taking away a toy if she doesn’t wanna share. And if she fights or whatever. Wait until she calms down and explain to her why you took away a toy

Sharing songs help. Put her in situations to share like at the park and encourage her to share. If she doesn't want to that okay but when she choose to praise the heck out of her

How can ppl have multiple kids? I can’t imagine doing this again to myself. Will have an only child I guess 🤷♂️ praying things get better 🙏

I HATE the experience of being pregnant. And I feel so guilty for hating it because it’s such a blessing but I’ve been miserable. I don’t feel well ever and haven’t felt like myself for four months. I still have over halfway to go and I’m dreading it 😐

Lol. I felt the same way. But the struggle doesn't last forever, even though it feels that way at the time. And I think that God purposely makes it to where you actually forget how hard it actually was later on. Cuz here I am trying for a third 😂

I feel super guilty lately. I am having a second child but with a different man. My first child is 12 and she is my world. I just feel like time is ticking before she won't be my only. I know she will love her sibling, but I just feel like I'm not being fair by having another child. Is this normal to feel this way?
Catherine
I really appreciate both of you sharing your experience and knowledge! It helped me a great deal today. She and I still have the strong close connection and I'm spending a lot of quality time with her. I'm also having her be the room designer because that is one of her favorite things to do. She will have a huge part in all of it. You ladies really helped me and I'm going to remember what you said when I start to feel guilty again🥰
