[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see this a lot on here— a parent suddenly thinks that their 2/3/4 year old is a totally mature and grown up kid once an infant comes home. They’re not. They’re still very little, and they’re now seeing a sibling get a ton more attention. It’s normal for them to feel stressed/jealous about this. They deserve your attention and patience, too. This particular incident seems like a non-issue to me. Your kid doesn’t understand germ theory. They’re 3. They were told not to do something and they did it to get your attention. That’s it. The bigger deal you make, the more they’re going to act out. [/quote] +1 I would go step further and not tell them to stay away. Your infant is exposed to the germs anyway, so no need to create another barrier between them.[/quote]
