parenting strategies for growing families

A nurturing, heart-led resource to support your child through the transition of becoming a big sibling.

This printable toolkit is designed to help toddlers and young children feel supported, understood, and connected as your family grows.

Inside, you’ll find a gentle social story you can personalise, emotion-based activities, a simple breathing technique for big feelings, and play-based tools to help ease the transition during pregnancy and postpartum.

Whether you're preparing before birth or already navigating life with a newborn, this toolkit offers calm, connection, and reassurance — for you and your little one.

NDIS Core Supports – Nurturing Sibling Connection During Times of Change

Welcoming a new baby is a big transition—not just for parents, but for older siblings too. Through NDIS Core Supports, I offer intentional, compassionate support for children navigating this season of change. With a focus on emotional regulation, routine support, and connection-based play, I help siblings feel seen, secure, and supported as their family grows. Whether it’s holding space for big feelings, creating calm in the chaos, or helping children build confidence in their new role, I’m here to walk alongside families with care and understanding.
