Sibling Preparation June 13, 2009

---

This hour-long class prepares children, ages 3 - 8, for the birth of
a new family member. Information on pregnancy, birth, and life with a
new baby is presented at a young child's appropriate learning level.
Classes examine what life is like having a new baby in the family, how
babies behave, and the ways that family life can be affected by new
babies.

Also included are sounds of a mothers heartbeat from her belly,
sounds of a mom having a contraction, age-appropriate illustrations
depicting childbirth, as well as a brief labor and age-appropriate
birth enactment using a doll. This is a positive and encouraging
environment for children and parents.

Sibling preparation is taught by Jordan Saalfrank. Jordan is a
Master of Social Work and focused most of her training on therapy with
children and families. Jordan recommends checking out Great Starts
informative article on the significance of sibling preparation.
