Introducing a second child can significantly impact the dynamics of a family, especially for the oldest child. Therapist Mary Ann Little advises avoiding certain phrases that may impose unrealistic expectations or pressure on firstborns. Instead of labeling them as 'big,' asking them to 'set a good example,' or insisting they are the 'best,' parents should focus on promoting their children's individuality and self-worth without the burden of caretaker responsibilities towards younger siblings.
