Welcoming a new sibling into the world is a beautiful time in a family’s life.  However, when seen through the eyes of a toddler or a preschooler, it can be a time of much anticipation and confusion.  We speak to them about being a big brother or sister, and we show them the growing belly, but this is all very abstract information for their very concrete brains to process.  In our joy of having a new child we may not notice the little one feeling a bit jealous and confused, as well as happy and overjoyed.  The task for the parent is to predict and address these feelings so they can transition smoothly into being big brother/sister.  In this talk we will address all of these points and help you begin to find a way to help your child transition into brotherhood/sisterhood.
