How to tell an 7 year old?
My daughter, since she has been able to talk says she “hates babies”. If we are at a restaurant and one cried.. she rolls her eyes or says something. Iv tried telling her she was a baby once and everyone starts out a baby.. but that doesn’t help. I have put off telling her (16 weeks Monday) and I just don’t know the best way to do it. I’d like to “do something” for her, but with the whole virus deal doing and going places isn’t as easy.. I really have no idea because no matter what, I think she will be disappointed. My sister is pregnant and she’s due in July, since my daughter has known, she is still slowly opening up to the idea and calls the baby Baby America (since she will be born in July) and has talked about the size of the baby during the certain weeks, she also was willing to feel the baby kick. But When she first found out, she didn’t even want to go over to my sisters house.. any suggestions would be helpful!! Thank you in advance! 💞
I did preorder a journal a kid can fill out to express their feelings about the process. There are fun things in there like draw a picture of what you think your sibling will look like ect.. but I am not sure if that’s enough.. I know it will help because she likes workbooks and writing and drawing.. but I need more suggestions.. Thanks again!
