What Older Siblings Need to Be Told

The best place to start might be at the beginning of your first child's life. Pulling out her baby book (like this one from The Land of Nod) is a great way to show her how far she's come since she was born and to prep her for how small, sleepy, and relatively unfun her newborn brother or sister will be. Looking through all of those old photos is also a great bonding experience for you and your child. Don't be surprised if they ask to go through it again the next day . . . and the day after that!
