This coming Tuesday, May 14th at 9.00pm Mumsnet is hosting a live chat with Jan Parker. As well as being mumsnet's resident parenting expert Jan, together with her co-author Jan Stimpson, has also written the much acclaimed "Raising Happy Children". Praise for their latest book includes:
"Raising siblings isn?t easy, and being a sibling isn?t easy. For many of us it?s one of the most difficult roles we play. It must be wonderful to grow up with another person and be the best of friends. All parents who want to create an environment where their children can do this should read this book." ? Dr Dorothy Rowe, psychologist and writer

"At last, a book for parents with more than one child! Sibling Rivalry, Sibling Love is warm, thought-provoking and packed with helpful ideas. I thoroughly recommend it." - Belinda Phipps, chief executive of the National Childbirth Trust

You can post questions in advance for Jan below, or log on to this discussion to talk to her live on Tuesday night. The first 10 members to ask a question live on Tuesday will win a copy of Jan's latest book Sibling Rivalry, Sibling Love.

I'm a mother of two boys aged 11 and 5 and half, the younger one is ADAH child, I always have to make a special effect with the younger one and always have to do/ listen to him (to keep the peace) but with the older one I can ask him to do things (he won't like it but does) I have tried to explain to my older son that his brother is an ADAH child and sometime we just have to listen to him and do thing for him other wise he will scream the home down.

Are you able to give any more advise on how I can make the younger one do thing around the house without having him screaming running around the home. I have tried giving awards (but that is only a short terms thing for him.

My son will be almost 2 when his little brother or sister arrives in October.

He's our only child, and also the only grandchild, so is used to being the centre of everyone's attention. He goes to nursery 4 days per week so is used to being around other children, and we've already started telling him about the "new little person" to get him used to the idea, but how can we help him not to be jealous of our new arrival?
