Some children may have a very hard time dealing with the addition of a sibling. They may fear their parents will love the new baby, more or even forget about them all together. Although this is silly for adults, it is very real for children. Having great books to help children cope and learn what adding a new family member means is a great way for them to accept and love their new sibling. Here are some fun books which can help your children cope with a new sibling.
