How can you ease your child into the idea of having a younger sibling? Our friends at Common Sense [1] share their story.
Adjusting to a new brother or sister can be tough. A new baby sounds like a great idea, but once the squalling bundle comes home, it can be a different story! These books face the issue head-on with humor and a knowing wisdom.
