The arrival of a second child in the family is always different from the birth of the firstborn and often becomes a challenging experience for parents. They have to solve a vast number of issues and problems — both everyday and psychological. Sarah Okwell-Smith, psychologist, pediatrician, and mother of four children, explains in detail how to properly prepare for life with two children. She shares personal experience, stories of her clients, and presents data from recent scientific studies on what age gap between children is optimal, along with other relevant topics. This practical, honest, and warm book will soothe and support parents at this new challenging stage of life and help cope with any difficulties. FROM THIS BOOK YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO: • prepare your firstborn for the arrival of a brother or sister; • ease the difficulties of the second pregnancy and childbirth; • care for two small children at once; • help parents understand new feelings and emotions; • cope with the older child's jealousy toward the younger one.
