I think it's wonderful that people are letting their older children share in the birth
of the younger children.  I should think that, handled properly, this experience would
greatly improve the older sibling's understanding of the new child.  It would also
help the older child feel like part of the event instead of leaving him/her feeling
left out.  It also seems that this would help reduce the chance of jealousy.  I'm all
for it!
