Dr. Jamie Schrager and two preschool teachers will be leading a two-part workshop designed to support families as they prepare to welcome a new baby. Leave with practical tools, expert guidance, and a sibling support plan tailored to your family. This workshop will be hosted at the Upper West Side’s FunFit Kids.

What to Expect in this Two-Part Workshop:

For Big Sibs (Ages 3–5):

In a fun and engaging group setting, your child will:

  • Learn what babies can and can’t do

  • Explore the big feelings that come with becoming a sibling

  • Practice safe, helpful ways to be around the baby

  • Create their very own Big Sibling Toolkit to feel proud, included, and prepared

For Parents:

While your child connects with other soon-to-be big siblings, you’ll gather with other expecting parents to:

  • Understand the emotional world of older siblings during this transition

  • Learn how to prepare your child for the baby’s arrival — and the weeks that follow

  • Get practical scripts and strategies for responding to jealousy, regressions, and sibling stress

  • Discover ways to support your older child’s identity and strengthen your bond

Dates: Sundays, September 21 & 28
Time: 9:00–10:15 AM
Location: Fun Fit Kids, 752 W End Ave, New York, NY 10025
Perfect for families expecting between October and December
