Progressive Parenting: Welcoming Your Second Child

A workshop with Barabara Olinger

When expecting your second baby, you might feel like an old pro when it comes to diapers, feeding, and snapping up onesies, but the idea of life with two children can present an entirely new set of worries. It's common to wonder things like Will I love both children the same? Will I be able to manage two kids? Oh no! Am I ready for this? At the same time, your first child is likely experiencing a sense of uneasiness, even if they're too little to verbalize it. They might be wondering Am I still going to be loved? Am I still Mommy's or Daddy's priority? Am I still special? In this DVD, Barbara Olinger addresses these issues by leading a progressive parenting workshop that guides parents through the transition of welcoming second-born children. As a mother and social worker who has worked with families for over 30 years, Barbara helps parents to define and understand their children's perspectives. She helps explain the older child's underlying needs and how those needs are communicated through behavior. She presents a menu of specific methods for how to connect with and respond to your firstborn during this significant change in his or her life. This video is a must-see for anyone expecting their second child or parenting two children during their first years at home.
