Expecting a baby is an exciting moment, not only for you as parents, but also for your first (or perhaps also second) child! Some children can find this very exciting. What is the best way to prepare your child for this? We are happy to give you some tips!
How do you tell the big news?
Telling the news about the arrival of a brother or sister is a special moment that can be tackled in various ways, depending on the age and understanding of the child. The conversation can be started with a simple and cheerful announcement, such as: "We have very nice news, you get a brother or sister!"
To make it more concrete, an ultrasound photo can be shown and explained that this is a photo of the little brother or sister in Mama's belly. For older children, a more interactive approach, such as a treasure hunt with instructions that lead to the ultrasound photo or a small gift related to the role of big brother or sister, can make the news more exciting.
It is important to offer space for questions and emotions of the child and to take them seriously. Involving the child in preparations can also help create enthusiasm and a sense of solidarity.
