Would appreciate views or experiences from other parents.
We have a lovely DS who will be 2 in february. If i had to define our parenting style it is very much AP. He is happy, content little boy and he does get a lot of one to one attention from both myself and DH, and lots of family time. I am concerned he will feel pushed out by the arrival of DS2 in May. for example If either DH or I give any other child attention he does get possessive saying MY mummy, MY daddy etc and though he won't be agressive he will push his way between us and other child.
We've a number of stories we read him about the arrival of a baby, we talk about mummy being pregnant and he understand there is a baby in my tummy and for his birthday have brought him a dolls house in which we've made a family to match ours with a little baby and a crib etc.
What else can we do to support this change for him before baby arrives or do we just take it as it comes?
