The big day has arrived, it’s your child’s birthday! The presents are wrapped and the party is planned but what about their siblings?

When they’re really little, kids can have a hard time being patient, taking turns or accepting that today is not all about them because let’s face it, most of the time it is! 

On birthdays, your other children may throw a tantrum, sulk or even refuse to participate.

Don’t worry, you haven’t done anything wrong as a parent and they will grow out of it. In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to help your little one realise just how fun it can be to celebrate the people they love.

After all, there is a lot of satisfaction to be found in making other people happy!
