Your friend has just had a new baby boy. She is worried because her older child, a two-year-old girl, has been placing her toys and books in the baby’s crib and sometimes places them on his head. She wonders whether her two-year-old is trying to hurt the new baby. What can you tell her about her older child’s intentions?

In life, people tends to associate and play with another individual in a way they deemed fit. A adult way of playing is different from a way a child would play.

In the case of the 2-year old girl, she might actually be surprised that she has a younger brother. In her own little way of playing with her, she is putting things into his crib as way of giving her younger brother rather than trying to harm him.

There can be various reasons for the actions of the two year old which can be :

The two year old may be trying to play with the younger sibling
The two year old maybe going through some range of emotions because of the new addition to the family.

The two year old may just be trying to play with the new born baby out of

excitement. He does not quite understand that the toys he places on the

baby's head may harm the baby. The toddler just does not notice the

distress the baby might be going through because he is very young to

understand mind theory.

Furthermore, the two year old may be going through some

range of emotions on sighting the new born, this can be excitement or

jealousy. In his little mind, he may believe the baby has come to take his

place. The mom can balance this by showing the two year old as much

attention as she shows the newborn baby.
