Sibling Preparation Class |
Class Schedule | Register |
The Sibling Class is for 3 to 8 year olds. Older/younger children may be accomodated or facilitated in a private class. Please contact the registrar for information.
A parent/guardian must accompany the child.
When a family is expecting a new baby, it can be hard for an older brother or sister to know what to do and how to feel. This special class for older siblings will help prepare young children for the changes that will occur when the new baby arrives. Sibling classes provide children the opportunity to explore their feelings concerning the arrival of a new baby. This sibling class will help minimize the amount of jealousy that they feel toward the new family member.
Many children are excited and look forward to the arrival of their new brother or sister. Having the opportunity to learn more about newborns, and how they can assist mom after the birth makes them feel more a part of the pregnancy, and also reassures them in their role in the family.
In addition, learning how they can help out with the baby is an empowering experience for many children, giving them a sense of pride and satisfaction in the knowledge that they are going to be a BIG brother or sister!
Parents will learn important information concerning "sibling rivalry" and what to expect from the older sibling upon the baby's arrival.
