Four year-old Jocelyn received lots of praise and attention from her mother when she put on impromptu shows, dancing and singing in her dress-up costumes. After Jocelyn’s baby brother was born, her mother no longer had the time or energy to watch the shows and shower Jocelyn with attention. Jocelyn no longer dresses up to sing and dance, and shows less interest in playing in general. She has begun to wet the bed at night, although she had stopped doing that more than a year before.
What are two steps that could be taken to reduce the problematic side effects that have emerged?

Actively punish Jocelyn when she wets the bed, and ignore requests to help with childcare.
Increase attention to the new baby when Jocelyn wets the bed, and encourage Jocelyn to be independent in her play
