This parenting cohort is designed to support families as they prepare for or adjust to welcoming a new baby into the home. Parents will learn about common emotional and behavioral responses children ages 1-5 may have when becoming an older sibling. We will discuss the excitement, jealousy, regression, and increased need for attention that can occur during this season. The group will provide practical strategies to help children feel secure, included, and connected during this family transition. Through discussion, education, and shared experiences, caregivers will gain tools to foster positive sibling relationships, support emotional development, and build a smooth adjustment for the entire family.

This series will be facilitated by a Parent Wellness Expert and will meet for 2 consecutive weeks on Zoom:

• Wednesday, August 19, 11:00am EDT/10:00am CDT

• Wednesday, August 26, 11:00am EDT/10:00am CDT
