The arrival of a new baby is often confusing and unwanted for an older sibling. Parents spend a lot of energy on preparations, and after the baby arrives, much of the family's attention involves meeting the newborn's basic needs.All this change can be hard for older siblings to handle.
It is recommended that parents tell their children about the impeding sibling-- making sure to cater the information to the age and maturity of the child-- in a timely manner.
Once the newborn has arrived, it is common for the older sibling to act out in some way as a way of getting back your attention.The older child often becomes aggressive, “acts out” or even regresses (wanting a bottle, wetting himself, crawling, etc.). Remember that these actions are normal and should not be ignored.
To get your older child to stop acting out, consider planning a day out without the newborn to remind the older child that you are still there for them.
When a loved one dies, it can be difficult to know how to help kids cope with the loss, particularly as you work through your own grief.
How much kids can understand about death depends largely on their age, life experiences, and personality. But there are a few important points to remember in all cases.

For most teenagers, puberty comes like a runaway train pulling boxcars of raging hormones creating a powerful combination of physical and mental challenges. The process of teaching the kids about these changes in their bodies and minds can be daunting. However talking to your child about puberty, can definitely help them get through this phase of change. It’s a known fact that during puberty in boys and girls, they worry about being “normal”. Many children are seen to lose their self-esteem, as they enter adolescence much earlier than their friends. Others feel embarrassed when they realize that everyone has gone through it except them. If this is the case, hold on! Try not to dramatize the conversation otherwise, it can make things more awkward and uncomfortable for the teenage mind. The key here is “communication”. Talking to them about what they are going through is very important in helping them understand it’s normal.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

3. Prologue
Infant abuse can be emotional, neglect, physical, or sexual. The most common
type is suffered neglect, with 78.3% of cases falling under this category. Abuse
by a primary caregiver damages the basic need of trust. If you can’t trust your
parents whom can you trust? We decided, while doing an action plan for our
Community Leadership class that there are many new parents out there that
are poorly educated about how to care for a newborn. This causes stress for
both the parent and the child which can lead to neglect on the parents end.
Because neglect holds 78.3% of the cases, our solution to this problem is to
create a “basic” care book. Inside this book will be informing the public on
dealing with stress pre- and post-birth. Hopefully more education will lead to a
smaller percentage of infant neglect. Please read our book and answer the
questionnaire at the end.
