Recommended Gifts To Consider For Older Sibling
Having a new baby to the family is a great change for each family member. This is especially so for the new big sister. As a young toddler who is initially the centre of love and attraction, the older sibling needs to experience the huge change after the new family addition is brought home to the household. The big sister sibling will be overwhelmed and stressed by the diversion of attention and may bear resentment to her new born sibling.
Hence, when baby number two is due soon, parents usually will plan to buy a gift for their soon-to-be-the-older sibling and tell their daughter this is a gift from the baby – a big sister gift. Big sister gifts are popular because the parents want to help transition their firstborn daughter from being the only child to having another sibling who will “take away” some of her parents’ love and affection. In addition, parents want their daughter to be excited and feel included after the arrival of her sibling. They want the big sister to know that having a baby sibling is a promotion and not an exclusion from the family, though more time will be spent looking after the baby. The parents also wish that this gift from her baby sibling will foster closer bond between the two right from the beginning.
