Balancing a new baby along with your toddler or preschooler can be a big challenge. With a little planning (and some patience), though, this can become a wonderful time for you and your older child to bond with each other and to form a warm family connection with your new baby!
In this episode I cover:
- A simple strategy to make life easier with new baby and toddler
- Easy routines that let Daddy, Grandma or other caregivers keep your toddler secure/happy right after your baby is born
- Why eliminating decision-making helps you handle life with littles (and how to do that)
- How to set respectful, yet firm, boundaries to keep everyone safe and sane – and help your little one feel secure
- Activity boxes – fun for your toddler that gives you a few quiet minutes with your baby
- How to decide if movies, apps, and other media have a place in your small child's life
- Saving your sanity with meals and snacks
- Balancing bathtime, potty visits, and other bathroom needs with small children
- How to create harmony and relationship between your little ones
- Encourging your toddler's help (and helping him when he gets grumpy with baby)
