Navigating the New Normal: Preparing an Older Sibling for a Newborn and Transitioning from One to Two Kids with Ann Kaplan

The Sweetest (and Toughest) Job

Making the transition from one to two kids or growing your family beyond can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate for many families.  On this episode, I talk to Ann Kaplan a birth worker and parent coach who works with moms and moms-to-be providing parenting support from conception to college.  Ann provides great insight and tips on navigating the new normal when your family is expanding.

Highlights from the episode include:

  • How to prepare an older sibling for a new addition to the family
  • Dealing with mom guilt and the balance of caring for more than one child
  • Time management in a growing household
  • Learning to give yourself grace in this season of life
  • Challenges parents encounter when going from one to two kids

As a birth worker and parent coach, Ann helps parents discover how to raise great kids on their own terms.  She helps moms prepare, plan and experience incredible births, then she helps them transition into motherhood and find balance as moms and as individuals.  From time management to learning discipline techniques when kids are getting out of control, her coaching helps moms create the family energy and room to be themselves within their families.
