Why is my 5yr. jelous of a 2yr. that I watch during the day?




Answers:
Could be competition for your attention. Try to get your child involved in the other's care--be like a big bro/sis to the younger. Praise him/her for any kindnesses or patience that he/she shows to the little one. Try to ignore the bad behaviors as much as you can without comprimsing safety. Try to give your child some alone/special time when you can.

Good luck!

Other Answers:
Because you are his/her mom and you are paying attention to another. Just keep reassuring the little one and at night tell him/her that he/she is your favorite.
maybe feels the 2 yr is getting more attention. you could do little things that make the 5 yr feel like they're helping you watch the 2 yr too
Because the 2 yr old gets more attention because it is younger. They don't understand that and think you like the other one better. Just talk to him/her about it and see if it helps
