Bringing a new baby home is such an exciting and special time for any family. The wait is finally over and it is time for everyone at home to meet the new arrival. But how can we prepare older siblings for the reality of getting to know their new brother or sister?
When we have older children, our biggest concern is often how the rest of the family will adapt to our little bundle of joy. Toddlers, in particular, may have a lot of questions or may be wholly unprepared for the disruption to their lives that having a baby sister or brother can bring!
Either way, becoming a big sister is a huge step, one that is exciting, emotional and sometimes overwhelming. Luckily there are lots of books for big sisters to help with the journey.
