“New baby is ruining my life!" This is EXACTLY what we DON'T want our toddler to feel about this new adorable creature that suddenly showed up, turning her whole life upside down. Aka, her baby sister/brother.👶🏻⁠ ⁠ BUT, when we make "baby" the reason that she can't have fun and can't "do things I used to do with mommy and daddy" your toddler will naturally start to resent baby. (I mean, wouldn't we all in that case?).⁠ ⁠ So how do you make your toddler feel loved and cared for while you're bouncing baby with boobs out/bottle up - when there's only ONE of you??🤱🏽🍼⁠ ⁠ We’re breaking it down, to make it easy for you. Say this:⁠ ⁠ ✨Connect FIRST:⁠ "I want to play with you too!⁠"⁠ ⁠ ✨Help her understand what she can expect:⁠ "I need 5 minutes, and then we can play together!⁠"⁠ ⁠ ✨Put her in charge of something to empower her:⁠ "What should we play together?⁠"⁠ ⁠ See how we completely avoided the "the baby needs me right now," "the baby is hungry, can't you hear her crying?" "be quiet, the baby is sleeping?" 🥳⁠ ⁠ We want her to feel loved, seen and secure. But more importantly, we don't want her to feel the baby is more important than she is.❤️⁠ ⁠ Lastly, carve out just 10-minutes a day to play with your toddler, totally focused one-on-one, just like you promised. It may not seem like much, but just 10-minutes of focused attention will fill your toddler's attention tank up, allowing her to feel less jealous, more loved and have less meltdowns. 🌪️ Less tantrums? That’s a win for everyone.⁠🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆⁠ ✨Struggling with tantrums, power struggles and disciplining in a way that both WORKS and protects your kid's self esteem? Our course is here to help!
