Helping older siblings feel seen, supported, and ready for their new role

Welcoming a new baby is a big transition—not just for parents, but for older siblings too. Our Need to Know Sibling Class is designed to help families prepare their children for the arrival of a new baby in a fun, age-appropriate, and emotionally supportive way.

Grounded in child development and attachment theory, this class supports families in navigating big emotions, shifting routines, and building positive sibling bonds from the start.

In this class, you'll explore:

How to emotionally prepare older children for the baby's arrival
Understanding sibling emotions like jealousy, excitement, and anxiety
Strategies to nurture connection and reduce sibling rivalry
Age-appropriate ways to talk about babies and changes ahead
Tips for creating a strong sibling bond through play, inclusion, and gentle involvement
Ideas for sibling rituals, transition activities, and special roles during birth and postpartum
Tools for managing big feelings and encouraging cooperation
How to create a “Sibling Survival Kit” and sensory play ideas for the early days

This interactive, family-centered class includes hands-on activities, parent guidance, and a special gift to help older siblings feel proud and prepared for their new role.
