PARENT TIP!!!
“And Then There Were Two“
"Our two-year-old was doing fine until the baby was born. Now he's having toilet-training problems, bedtime problems, and he's even mean to the baby. What do I do?"
When a second child comes along the first child loses something very important. He or she is no longer the only object of parental attention. What used to be "all mine" must now be shared (toys, as well as attention and time), posing some adjustment problems for most children.
We recommend a two-fold approach at these challenging times. First, give your first child more attention than you normally would. He or she needs to feel special. He's a big brother now. She can do things the baby can't. He's unique and has some qualities that make him enjoyable and special. This child needs to know that she has a valuable role in your family and is not being replaced. Overemphasizing love and attention may satisfy the need and the problem may just go away.
If not, we recommend that you also increase the firm discipline to reinforce the new boundaries. "No, you may not hit the baby. I want you to sit here until you're ready to come back and show me how you can be gentle." Firmness at bedtimes and when following directions is also important. Don't excuse wrong behavior because a child is experiencing some emotional pain.
Be sensitive and loving but be firm as well. Your child has just grown into a new and important stage of life. Although we want to make the adjustment as easy as possible we don't want to ignore the opportunity to develop character.

Be a Coach to Your Children
I'm sure that as you look around you see other families who have rather strange relationships with their kids. Some parents seem to have a boss/servant relationship with their children, as if the parents own their kids. They order them around as if they were slaves, being demanding about obedience and respect. Others act like policemen allowing children to do anything they want within boundaries. When the children move outside the boundaries then the parent blows the whistle to get them back in line. Other parents have a little prince relationship with their children. These parents go out of their way to make their children happy, sometimes trying to make up for their own unhappiness as a child.
A better analogy is the one that views the parent as a coach. Your children need training every day, involving teaching, correcting, firmness, and encouragement. A coach builds a relationship with the child, recognizes weaknesses and equips the child to succeed. When a runner falls down, a good coach doesn't condemn but motivates to excellence through support and encouragement. The coach and the athlete are both on the same side, working to make that young person successful.
Don't let childish problems like anger, impulsiveness, or meanness motivate you to become an opponent to your children, allowing the problem to come between you. Instead, partner with your children, moving the problem to the side, with you and your child working together to conquer it. Your attitude in conflict will mean all the difference for a child who needs to be coached out of immaturity. Children need to know that their parents believe in them. It helps them in the deepest areas of their hearts.
This parenting tip is from the book, Home Improvement, The Parenting Book You Can Read to Your Kids by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN. Since each chapter begins with a fictional story that continues from chapter to chapter, it's the parenting book you can read to your kids.
In His Love and For His Kids,
