No Child Is The Same
from the Mudroom Hosted by Allana Robinson
A lot of us have been on lockdown for quite some time. Which has resulted in a lot of parents welcoming a new little one or are now expecting. 😉 Congrats! That means your current child/ren are now becoming big siblings which can be simultaneously exciting and terrifying. A new playmate and companion for your kids oooorrrr also more opportunity for possible fighting and conflict. We’ve all seen those videos about older siblings either melting down and shrieking in horror at the baby announcement or breaking down in tears of absolute joy. It feels almost like a pendulum. It can either go one way or another. If you’re worried about whether your children will get along or not, you wouldn’t be the only parent to be stressed about it. Having navigated the transition from one child to two, and helping other parents and their child make the transition too, I can tell you it doesn’t have to feel like rolling the dice between whether they’ll hate each other or not. There are some things you can do to encourage a healthy bond and sibling relationship between your children, whether you’re adding #2 or # 5. In this episode we´ll discuss: - How you can help your kid handle this addition. - How to encourage a healthy bond between siblings. - What you can expect from it Grab the Scripts to Manage the Top 10 Crazy-Making Behaviours: prnt.link/scripts Watch the video recording here: Join the Parenting Posse: prnt.link/group the Mudroom is recorded live every Wednesday at 1:30pm ET/ 12:30pm CT/ 10:30am PT on Facebook: facebook.com/arfamilyservices
