Preparing your older children for the arrival of baby
When the family gets bigger...
The arrival of a new baby is a major upheaval for any family: each family member has to redefine their place and work together to find a new equilibrium.
When you announce this big event your children will probably become overwhelmed by many emotions that are not necessarily always positive: they will soon be obliged to share their mum and dad, but also take on a new role of big brother or big sister.
While sometimes very well accepted, this prospect can also generate jealousy, anger or anxiety. Do not worry: these feelings are perfectly legitimate and do not mean that your children will not like him or her.
Take a look at our advice for helping them get through this delicate phase as serenely as possible!
