The introduction of a new sibling into the family unit is an exciting, stressful time. No doubt you’re wondering how you’ll do it all, how your toddler will cope, and that age old question “do I have enough love to give”?
On this episode of Wiggle Talk, we’re joined by Parent Educator Gen Muir, who has done it THREE times, and The Resilience Project’s Hugh Van Cylenburg, who has done it twice. Gen offers helpful expert tips about the perfect age, and how to meet your toddlers emotional needs, while Hugh gets honest about the question on every parents list: will I love my second child as much as my first?
