Episode notes
Introducing a New Sibling
- Discuss the pregnancy with your child, acknowledging their potential confusion and mixed feelings.
- Validate their fears of displacement and reassure them of your continued love and attention.
Building Trust
- Maintain your child's trust by being truthful.
- Avoid explanations you'll later retract, offering simple, age-appropriate information about the pregnancy.
Timing Transitions
- Avoid making major transitions (e.g., potty training, crib-to-bed) too close to a new baby's birth.
- Expect temporary regressions and allow developmental space amidst family changes.
