This week’s family-life focus

If there are other children in the family, make room for their own stories, preferences and plans. Invite their views on ordinary family choices without assigning responsibility for the baby. Their place in the family is more than the role of an older sibling.

Two small things to try

  1. Ask another child about an interest of their own.
  2. Make time to hear their story.
