Childrens Wisdom 6
Children’s Wisdom - The Newcomer By A Grateful Mother
When our new baby came, three year old Sandra watched every move that Mummy and the baby made. One day when he was lying on the bed for a diaper change, Sandra saw his sexual organ. Her only comment: “That wouldn’t look very good on his face.” I taught her how to kiss baby’s stomach which she loved to do. When he began to smile and I would do all the motherly things to bring it out, she was amused. She got him to smile for her. I noticed, however, some changes in her behavior. She did not play very much even though I gave her some new things. She developed a little stutter in her speech and was beginning to have toilet accidents, even though she had been fully trained for six months. She had been sleeping well, but now she was waking up and crying. All of these behaviors did not register with Mummy until one day when the baby lay on the bed for a diaper change, Sandra bit his little foot. When baby jumped and began to cry, Sandra began to cry too: “Hurt baby, hurt baby.” While still crying she went over and put her head on his stomach. The teeth marks were clear and deep. This was no playful bite. I told my husband about all this. We decided that Sandra was suffering and needed more attention and affection. Jack went into action. He got a beach ball that they could play together. He chased her like a bear and caught her to chew on her arm. She was easy to catch. He rode her way up high on his shoulders, carried her on his back and jumped her up and down. He took her to the playground where there were some swings and a sliding board. He even took her to the golf course one Saturday morning. She told me how Daddy played in the Sandbox and how his ball went way up and dropped into the water. It took several weeks, but would you believe it? The stutter was gone, her toilet problems were over, her sleeping was good. The newcomer had taken away a lot of her positive feelings. She lost interest in her little brother and did not watch much any more. Sandra was a completely different little girl. I was so proud of Jack that my love-making interest soared. He got an unexpected reward, but I’m sure he never knew the reason why.
