Being the oldest child in a sibling group

Family
Sibling relationships

Being born as the first child has its advantages, but also its difficulties. What does this particular place in the siblings imply?

  • When you are born the first, you enjoy the exclusive love of your parents for a while... until the arrival of a second child!
  • Feeling jealous of your little brother or sister is perfectly normal for an older child, but it's up to the parents to reassure their little one.
  • In large families, being the oldest child often brings with it responsibilities that make the child an independent individual at an early age.

My fiancé has a 14 year old and I’m worried about how she’s going to react to having a sibling. We get along great but I’m praying this only brings us closer ❤️🥹

My daughter has prayed for a younger sibling. I haven't told her that mommy does have a baby in her tummy. What are some super cute ways I can tell her ? She is four but very very smart

How did your child react when meeting their new sibling? I have a 1&1/2 year old daughter & by the time I give birth she’ll be 2 years & 2 months.
