Securely Attached

285. Q&A: When is the best time to tell my toddler that I'm pregnant?


Listen Later

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg, Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...

 

 

- Exactly when we’d recommend you tell your child that you're pregnant.

 

- Why it’s important to help your child make sense of what is happening in their life—and the conclusions they can jump to if we don’t share things (in a developmentally appropriate manner) with them.

 

- A conversation starter and basic script you can use to introduce this concept to your young child. 

 

- How these dynamics can change depending on if it’s the second, third, or fourth baby you’re welcoming.

 

- The types of topics you want to try to cover (and which ones to try to avoid) when you first tell your child you are pregnant.
