United in Birth – Sibling Birth Preparation Course

For children becoming big brothers and sisters – supported with love, confidence, and connection.

Welcoming a new baby is a big transition, not only for parents but also for older siblings. This course is designed to help children feel prepared, included, and secure – whether they’ll be present at the birth or meeting their sibling for the first time at home.  


Through playful, age-appropriate activities, storytelling, and gentle guidance, children learn what to expect, how to process their feelings, and how special their role is as a sibling. It’s the perfect support for families wondering how to prepare a toddler or child for a new baby in a loving and practical way.

What we will cover

  • Birth Prep for Children at Birth – gentle explanation of what labor looks and sounds like, where they can be, and simple ways to support.
  • Transition Prep for Becoming a Sibling – helping children adjust with love, curiosity, and confidence, even if they won’t attend the birth.
  • Age-Appropriate Learning – tailored for toddlers, young children, or older kids.
  • Parent & Child Together – shared preparation makes this a bonding experience for the whole family.
     

Course Structure:

  • Free Introduction Call (20 min) – meet, share needs, adapt for your child’s age.
  • Three (3) Prep Sessions (60–90 min each):
    1. Understanding birth – stories, play, role play.
