Sibling Reveries: Input/Output The Sandbox with Diane and Rebekka

    • Parenting

Rebekka's family is still adjusting to the not so recent arrival of its newest member, who is now 9 months old. Rebekka has reclaimed the role of "mommy" in the eyes of her oldest child: some ruptures have been repaired! In spite of the speed bumps in this family's development (and growing sibling conflict), big sister Molly is showing something very important: when most of her "input" needs are met (good food, stimulating play, loving relationships), the "output" is love.
