Parent/caregiver workshop for families expecting a new babyJust when you've gotten used to a little more sleep, a bit of a routine and settled into your groove as a young family...here comes a new sibling! While welcoming a new baby to your family is exciting, it also raises some important questions and concerns: How will our new addition impact the dynamic of our family?How will my firstborn handle this life-changing event?Will I really be able to love this new baby as much as I love my older child?How will I put both kids to sleep, make dinner, let alone eat if my partner has to work late?I finally figured out how to work in some time for myself and my partner...how will I be able to do this with a new baby?Join Rebecca Walsh, Director of Early Childhood Matters and mother of three, to learn strategies for supporting your child in the transition to a new baby, and laying the foundation for a lifetime of positive sibling relationships. We will also discuss self-care strategies to support parents in this transition to a bigger family, and screen-free activity ideas to keep older siblings engaged while you nurse, swaddle or maybe even take a shower!
