Supporting the Older Sibling
After the Arrival of Baby
(even months later!)
It is always a very special event to welcome a new baby into the family.
And it can also be a difficult transition for the older child(ren), and everyone else involved.
I’m sending you lots of Love and compassion if you’re feeling helpless as you’re witnessing your (usually sweet and loving) child struggling.
I wonder if your older child:
- has become really difficult to be around?
- is refusing to cooperate and often does the opposite of what you’ve just asked?
- is aggressive towards his little brother or sister?
- has big tantrums about little things?
- is not sleeping well anymore?
- is pretending to be a baby all day long?
- is refusing to use the toilet or regressing?
- is asking for mummy all day and refuses daddy’s help?
This is quite common to most new big brothers and sisters, you’re not alone.
I have received hundreds of emails from mothers going through this.
It can happen very soon after baby was born or it can take many months (or years!).
Let me reassure you, your child hasn’t turned into a “bad kid”, he’s simply needing some loving support to manage this big change in his life.
In this Live class:
- we will put ourselves in our child’s skin, to understand his perspective
- we’ll talk about how emotions work in the mind-body
- we’ll see how we can help our child with his big emotions
- we’ll learn respectful and connecting tools to reduce siblings rivalry
- we’ll see how we can use play to repair any attachment rupture between you and your older child.
- we’ll learn about the nervous system and see what children most need to feel safe and relaxed
You will find NO punishment, reward, bribe, threat, time-out or “consequences” in any of my teachings.
All the information I teach is nurturing and respectful of both the children and the parent’s needs. It is based on the latest research in children’s psychology, attachment theories, aware and attachment parenting, somatic experiencing (trauma healing), the polyvagal theory (nervous system health) and attachment play.
