If you are expecting a second baby, you are undoubtedly worried about your first child’s reaction to her new sibling. Here we describe a creative way of preparing your oldest child to the coming of her new sibling through doll play with Calin Charming Pastel Doll by Corolle Dolls Mon Premier. This is especially useful if your oldest child is too young to grasp abstract ideas. Often through imaginative play, you can explain complex issues to your child in a non threatening way.
Make sure you have at least a month or so to prepare your first born child to the arrival of her sibling, do not reveal it to her earlier, since children’s timelines are shorter and she may not remember. Give her a gist of what is going to happen, allow her to understand it well. Give your daughter a feel of everything and everything will be fine. At first, explain to her that her sibling is in your belly and will come out soon. Talk to her about babies and answer her questions in a simple manner.
Then, take your child to the store to buy her very own “make believe” baby. Explain to her that you are going to show her what will happen when the baby arrives. When you get your own Calin Charming Pastel Doll by Corolle Dolls Mon Premier, you may be surprised to see how realistic it looks and that Calin’s eyes close when she lays down, as if she is sleeping.
Your child will love the delicate vanilla scent of Calin, and her softness. Aside from helping your child with this big transition from being an only child to having a sibling, your child will love cuddling with Calin at bedtime.
Next, explain to your daughter that like her baby sibling, Calin cannot eat on her own, or dress herself. Teach your daughter how to take care of Calin. Point out that taking care of a baby is a lot of work and that the baby will need a lot of attention. Praise your daughter for being a big girl who can dress and feed herself and help with taking care of Calin.
Tell your daughter that you might be busy with the new baby, but remind her that you love her very much by “putting” some love into her cuddly new doll. You can tell your daughter that if sometimes you are busy with the new baby, Calin will keep some extra special mommy love for her and her alone.
