It often happens that children are jealous. There are several situations that can lead to this feeling, for example, the appearance of a new child in the family. Jealousy can also arise between siblings or friends.

A child uses different means to express his jealousy. When a little brother is born, the child can begin to act like the baby. For example, peeing in her panties, wanting to wear diapers, talking like a child, etc., breaking a friend's toys, harming her little sister or refusing to obey.

Although this can lead to bullying behavior, jealousy is a normal feeling. The boy thinks that the world revolves around him. It adapts to your needs. It is difficult for him to understand the needs of others and share the attention of his parents.

Jealousy occurs when a child feels that his mother or father is more in love and caring for another person, such as a child or a new spouse. Biting your little sister or doing stupid things is a way of telling you: "You worry too much about the baby!" I also want you to take care of me and love me. "

Lack of trust can also cause jealousy. A child can be compared to others and be worse than them. Therefore, comparing your children with others or giving more importance to one of them can create rivalry between brothers and sisters and increase jealousy.

It is important to avoid phrases like "Take the example of your brother" or "Do as your sister". Each child is unique and has its own strengths and weaknesses.

### The best way to prevent and reduce your child's jealousy is to show him his love.

- Don't be shy to be affectionate and often tell him you love him.

- Pay a little attention and take the time to do business with him. Your baby will feel less threatened by others and be less jealous.

- Praise your child and often make positive comments to help him gain confidence. You will feel less inclined to compare yourself to others and feel jealous.

- Prepare your child for the birth of a child or the appearance of a new partner, encouraging him. For example, you can say: “You will have a little sister, but that will not change my love for you. Although I will have to take great care of the baby, I will also find time to be with you. Or "Even if I have a new lover, I love you as before. You are still my dear son."

- Help your child write words about how he feels and tell him what he understands. For example, if you roll on the floor and cry, changing a child's diaper, you can say: “I know you want me to take care of you. I understand that you need me, but also your brother. Shouting is not a way to get my attention, but I will be happy to play with you when I finish changing your little brother. "

- Do not punish your child for jealousy attacks, this will only aggravate the situation.

>> A jealous child needs peace of mind and know that you love him.
