Yay! A new arrival to many families means many children are promoted to big brother, big sister or big sibling! Anticipating this change for children can come with a lot of emotions and questions.

In order to prepare the next “Big” in the family to prepared for their new role and the arrival of the “Little” with a calm and positive perspective, we can:

- Meet one-on-one in person or virtually, with your family

-Provide age appropriate materials demonstrating what to expect when a newborn comes home. Such as what they look like, what they can/can’t do

- Create understanding and develop a plan in how to handle changes in routine

- Provide a hands-on experience for the sibling to be honored in their role in the family and provide excitement for welcoming baby soon

- Address common concerns together like how much a baby cries, the frequency in which parents must feed baby, general sibling safety when around baby

Nesting can be exciting, but the to-do list can be long - I can help be an extra pair of hands to lighten the load so you can enjoy more of the simple moments before baby arrives!
