How Do I Prepare My Child For a New Sibling?

When you are expecting a new baby it can be a time full of excitement. You may also worry about how to share the news with your child(ren), how to prepare them (and you) for the changes that are coming, and keep your connection throughout this family transition. Dr Martha talks through all of this on the podcast offering you actionable ideas to prepare before the baby arrives and suggestions to support you and your child(ren) when baby comes.

There is a whole chapter on welcoming a new baby into the family that goes deep into this topic in the Confident Parent Course.
