Materials

• baby doll or stuffed animal

1. Use a baby doll or stuffed animal as a pretend younger sibling. 2. Show them gentle touches: "See how I use soft hands? Like petting a kitten." 3. Practice: hold the baby, rock the baby, give the baby a toy. 4. Talk about helping: "When a little one cries, what can we do? We can bring them a toy or tell a grown-up." 5. If they have a real younger sibling, try these right away with supervision.
