Feedback:
Preschool-age children may need to be assured periodically during pregnancy a new baby will be an addition to the family and will not replace them in their parents' affection. Explaining that the mother will have less time for the child, equating the new baby as "fun," and taking away a bed for the baby will not help the child accept the new baby into the family.
