They exonly plained its growth and development from the small toothless mite he would see at first. They described the various phases he could expect: the smiling and cooing stage, the creeping stage, arid eventually the stage where he would be able to play with the baby. They took him to see a young baby. They told him the new jchild would depend on him .because he was older and stronger. -- Make him feel secure - They let Steve help arrange the fur- niture in the baby's room. They took away his crib before the baby was even mentioned. Happy with his new bed, he was eager to help arrange his old crib for the infant. They showed him some of the baby's clothes. But there was never anything in all their preparations for the newcomer to suggest, "Here is someone to take your place or push you aside in our aflec- - tions." It was always, "Here is someone who will add to our family group and mean much to us all." They did not take the chance of letting his mother's stay at the hospital come as a shock. He was told in that she would be away for a .while and that when she returned it would,, be with the new baby. They made certain, too, that he liked and felt safe and secure with the nurse who was to stay with him while his mother was away. Steve will not greet, the new member of the family as an intruder who has stolen his parents' love or deprived him of his rights. The transition, ho we ver,7 will not be entirely painless. But even if there are some bad incidents, the Thatchers need not feel they haye failed. The solution is not the work of one week or even one year; it is a continuous responsibility for all parents faced with the problem.
