How do I prepare my child for her new sibling?

The arrival of a new baby can bring many changes to a family. Parents spend a lot of energy on preparations, and after the baby arrives, much of the family's attention involves caring for the newborn. All this change can be hard for older siblings to handle. It's common for them to feel jealousy toward the newborn and to react to the upheaval by acting out. Personally i did a few things before the arrival of my second child. 1) I brought him to my gynae appointment and explained to him what was going on. 2) Explaining day by day what is happening, especially when it comes to purchasing things or fixing stuffs for the younger sibling 3) Shows them examples of other families with more kids. Telling them how the elder siblings looked after of the younger siblings. Above were the tips i used on my child. For more, you can read at the below link too.
