Introducing a new baby to siblings

In this episode Claire and Becks cover: 

  • Bump to baby – this is a HUGE concept and one which little ones can find very hard to comprehend! They discuss how to help them with this concept and what to do around a child who doesn’t show much interest at all! 
  • The questions around bringing a new baby home when you have other little people to consider – should you buy a present from baby? What do you do about the baby’s room? How far in advance do you need to make changes before baby arrives? And more! 
  • What happens on the actual day – who is looking after your other children and what happens when they come in to see you in hospital? And how about a home birth? 
  • Visitors and how to make sure they help (and not hinder) the whole process! 
  • Finally, they talk about how sibling children may experience jealousy and the fear of missing out when a new baby arrives and what you can do to help them.

Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here!

Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
