Young dad Eric Jensen recently posted a video of him and his 4-year-old son struggling with the transition to two kids.

The video has been viewed over 3 million times.

Jensen reached out to experienced parents for advice on how to cope with the change.

The best advice: Include your older one in everything instead of it being 'I need to go do xyz for your baby brother or can you help me?'.

"I feel this SO much bro it’ll get better, I promise you that. Keep pushing dad!" "Once he can make baby laugh and smile things get 1000x better I promise" Having more than one child is hard, there's no doubt about it. But part of the parenting journey is the learning that takes place as you go.
