The More, the Merrier?: The Sibling Episode

The More, the Merrier?: The Sibling Episode

In today’s episode, Sari and Katy tackle one of the biggest transitions in parenthood—introducing your child to a sibling. While answering audience questions, they discuss strategies for navigating this shift and the huge adjustment within the family. Katy offers insights on everything from the early days of bringing home another baby to managing constant sibling bickering. Meanwhile, Sari opens up about her anxieties around welcoming a new baby into the family of soon-to-be four.

Topics we cover include:

• Our own sibling dynamics and “middle child syndrome”
• Preparing your child for the arrival of a new sibling
• Handling a toddler’s resistance to a new baby
• Balancing attention between a toddler, baby, and growing kids
• Why “fair” doesn’t always mean “equal” between siblings
• Managing sibling jealousy and rivalry at a young age
• Encouraging independence among close-in-age children
• Parenting each child as an individual
