In the blink of an eye, your little baby isn’t so little anymore!

 

Now, you’re looking at your curious toddler or preschooler exploring and discovering new things about the world.

Supporting Sibling Relationships

 

“I wish we could return the baby.” “He always gets more than me.” “It’s MINE!” “It’s not my fault, he started it!”

If you are a parent or caregiver of more than one child, you have most likely heard a few of these comments shared between siblings. Conflict between siblings may be unavoidable and inevitable but parents can learn simple solutions to gradually improve sibling relationships.

This workshop will include an overview to spacing, birth order, and temperament, tools to prevent rivalry and jealousy, strategies to build sibling bonding, suggestions how to decrease competition and fights over possessions, and how best to intervene during challenging moments. Helpful resources will be available in addition to time for personal questions.

 

This workshop is appropriate for parents & loving caregivers of children from the newborn period – elementary years.
