Having a new baby is an exciting and emotional change for the big sibling! GROW's Sibling Prep class is a fun and sweet way to prepare big brother or sister for what to expect when their sibling arrives.
Our class, held at the GROW Wellness Center at 37 Lincoln Street in Essex Junction, includes:
- Washing our hands before touching the babies. We'll start our class with a hand washing and a special song, as well as setting up a diaper station.
- Practice diapering, dressing and swaddling baby dolls (we will provide dolls and all materials needed, or feel free to bring your own newborn size supplies if that's fun for the sibling.)
- Being gentle with the baby, and practice with supervised gentle holding.
- Discussions around all the things that a new baby can and cannot do, how they eat, where they will sleep, and how they as big siblings can help along the way.
- Story time!
- Craft project to create a gift for the baby. During this time, we'll discuss as adults how to help ease the transition for their older child, what to expect in terms of behavior, and how to prepare.
- Parents are encouraged to ask questions and use this class to have and open conversation regarding the logistics of becoming a sibling, feelings, as well as changes in the family dynamic.
All direction will be age appropriate. Please let the instructor know if there is anything unique and special that brings you to our class. We are here to support all types of growing families.
