The big idea
Older siblings often feel invisible when a baby arrives. AI can help you find ways to feel essential without becoming an unpaid nanny.
Some examples
- Prompt Claude: '5 ways a 14-year-old can actually help with a newborn that aren't babysitting'
- Ask ChatGPT for safe one-on-one moments with the baby
- Have AI suggest how to ask parents for protected solo time
- Use Claude to journal the resentment so it doesn't leak into the family
Try it!
If a new baby is coming or here, ask Claude for 5 small ways to help that aren't diapers. Pick one to do tomorrow.
