When Photos Tell Millions Words

We must have heard and/or experienced a saying 'Photos Tell Millions Words'.

This tactic also we as parent could use to show your older child(ren) that we do not give the younger child(ren) a different amount of love than the older one.

How? When a child shows a jealousy attitude or even saying something that we love one child more than him or her, we could show them the way we treated the older child same way with younger one.
We show them photos when:
- the mother was pregnant
- the mother in hospital giving birth
- the mother breastfeed/bottle feed and first solid food feed the child
- us, parent, slept in the same bed (or same bedroom)
- we took photos of his/her first tooth, first step, etc
- we played with them
- we took them to special places
- etc, etc

I use this tactic when I sense my older son jealousy. I sat down quitely with him and showing him the memorable photos of his younger days. I also mentioned that we might give a little bit more attention to the younger one (specially baby or toddler under 3 years old) because she cannot do all the things by herself like my older son does. At the end I always said that we love him as much as we love his sister, not more not less.

We always end up with laugh and more love.
