Television's favourite bahu Shweta Tiwari became a second-time mum on November 27, last year and has since been giving us a glimpses of her new life through her social media accounts.
Whether it be a picture of baby Reyansh or her husband Abhinav Kohli or some alone romantic time with him, she has so far managed to share personal moments with her fans. But in all this we missed pictures of her daughter Palak, who was barely seen in any of her mother's new pictures since her step brother's birth.
But now the new mum has set the record straight and with just one photograph proved that her daughter Palak is loving her new role as a big sister.
The Begusarai actor shared a special message along with the picture that read, "My Angels." Now that's sweet, isn't it?
Tiwari has always been open about her friendly relationship with her teenage star daughter, who seem to harbour aspirations of entering the film and television industry.
Mum's best friend
In fact, the mother-daughter duo are quite close, given that they have faced many personal tribulations together. “I think whatever has been happening in my life, after that the bonding between my daughter and me has become stronger. She was with me through all the troubles and difficulties,” Tiwari revealed during an interview.
She even shared that they share a close bond of friendship. “I am very close to my daughter. I don’t try to be strict with her. I try to be friendly and find out things about her life from her. She tells me everything. She also tells me stuff, which she doesn’t tell her friends. I think I am her best friend,” shared Tiwari who stated that Palak is very fond of stepdad and actor Abhinav Kohli as well.
Not surprisingly, Palak played a very important in Tiwari's baby shower, playing the perfect host and twinning with her expecting mum at the time.

It is quite obvious then that Palak was all prepared to be a big sister soon. And while it looks like an easy transition for her- from the only child to a big sister now, it can only be as easy when the parents take initiative with a few simple steps.
3 ways to help older child adjust with baby no. 2
- Inform them beforehand: Share the good news of your second baby's arrival with your firstborn as soon as possible. He/she shouldn't have to hear it from others. Plus, this way, if you are experiencing any symptoms of pregnancy such as morning sickness, you don't have to lie about being unwell. Involve your firstborn in your pregnancy and keep them posted about the baby's health and wellness in order to ease them in and prepare them for what's to come.
- Involve them in decision making: Whether it is buying clothes for the baby or his crib or toys, make sure to involve your firstborn in the decision making process. Ask them for their opinion and let them choose and make decisions. This will make them feel included not only in the pregnancy, but also in the life of their new sibling.
- Give them responsibilities: Engaging them small responsibilities like changing diapers, changing the baby's clothes, helping out with the napping schedule (for older firstborns) among others. This will again make them feel more important and involved in their siblings' life, which they anyway should be as well.
