Caleb's Promise

Often an only child will become nervous or feel out of place at the news of a newborn coming home. The only child has been the center of attention for quite some time. Sometimes, the parents become so consumed with preparing for the new baby that the other child feels left out. When a child feels left out they can react in many different ways, such as clinging to their parents, crying a lot, or thoughts of not being wanted. This can create trauma. In my story Caleb is supported by his parents and Cedric, the teddy bear. With his parent's help, Caleb goes from the only child to Big Brother, his new place of importance in the family.
