Mom of a 13 yr 11 m old girl7 years ago
Q.

I have two kids. One is 7 years and the other one is 2.5 years.. My elder daughter has developed a feeling that everyone in the family loves the younger one more whereas that's not true. Mine is a nuclear family. She starts crying everytime we care for younger daughter and says you all love her everytime and not me. The situation becomes worse when my in laws come. Obviously they are more attached to the younger daughter. So they play and love her more.again it hurts my elder daughter. It's getting very difficult for me to make her understand that we love both. I am a homemaker and gives my whole day to her. But she doesn't understand rather keep hurting herself and crying. Pls suggest

A. this is common. they feel insecure, neglected, after baby's arrival . they fear separation from parents as everybody is busy with the baby, praises baby. so involve her in your work, give her importance, praise her , and get something for her too if you buy a new thing for your baby. she will adjust.
