Is my first born stressed because of the pandemic or the fact that Im giving birth to Baby #2 soon?

Question

The first time we broke the news to him, we witnessed how his eyes sparkled at talaga namang he was genuinely happy learning hes gonna be a Kuya na. We always made sure hes involved sa lahat ng bagay — decision making sa names, on what things to buy for him and for the baby, etc. Kapag kaming dalawa lang, madalas kaming mag-usap at kinakamusta ko siya how he feels.Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa nangyayaring pandemic or sa papalapit na panganganak ko na, at biglang nagbago ugali ng panganay ko. He would usually interfere kapag may kausap ako, hell push my limits at talagang di siya titigil hanggat di niya ko nakikitang galit. Hindi na siya nadadala sa isang tingin lang, o kahit yung approach ko na kalmado siyang tatanungin what he wants. Di siya nagto-throw ng tantrums pero nang-aasar. Gets niyo ba? Haha. On a side note, hindi naman siya palalabas at di siya tipong mahilig makipaglaro sa ibang bata because he usually plays on his own. Kaya I dont think its the lockdown causing him stress.Kayo, momsh? Anong advise ninyo?

have patience with him. bond with him. then assure him that nothing will change kahit anjan na si baby. he will still be your baby and yung love mo sa kanya hindi magbabago. make time and activities na kayo lang,then make time din to have activities with him like for example,fixing baby clothes. make sched for it. and include him. then pag parang nangaasar,tell him that he is gonna be a kuya already. and he is your baby's hero. and heroes follow rules and set good examples. 🙂

Thank you so much, Mommy Kat. Yes, as much as I can, talagang iniinclude ko siya sa ganong activities. Pero I love the last part, being his kapatid's hero. Maybe that will make him understand more kung ano na talaga magiging role niya.
