While this is an exciting time, it is also a big transition for you and your older child. From breaking the news to the soon-to-be sibling (and explaining what a ‘sibling’ is) to getting your child involved in your pregnancy, this lesson guides you through it all.

You will learn:

  • How to explain to your child what it means to be a sibling
  • Tips for getting your child involved in your pregnancy
  • Age-appropriate ways to announce the news of your new baby (if you have not told your child already)

Note: separate classes for newborn care and breastfeeding are offered for more detailed information.
