Especially when they are so close in ages and stages this can be a big obstacle for many mothers. 
You might think they are entering their terrible twos (we call them the terrific twos!) because they start hitting, biting, and scratching. These are all normal behaviours during the toddler years when they don’t have emotional control or much language yet.

In this episode, you will get 

1. How to minimize conflict with an older child and a new baby
2. What to do if a toddler gets rough with baby
3. The importance of pouring love into the older sibling
