C
Feedback:
To help reduce sibling rivalry, the mother should set aside afternoon time for the preschool-age child while the baby naps. Sleeping when the baby sleep, asking if the preschool-age child likes the baby, and limiting gifts to the preschool-age child until behavior changes will promote sibling rivalry.
