Baby on the Way

By My Big Moments
Supporting tamariki as they become big siblings.

Adding a new pēpi to the whānau can bring big changes, and big feelings! Baby on the Way helps children make sense of what’s happening, feel included, and prepare for their new role.

Created in collaboration with psychologists and child development experts, this gentle story helps children understand the changes ahead, and gives parents helpful language to talk about what’s coming.

How this resource supports our tamariki:

Read this story in the months before baby arrives and again after birth. Use it to name the feelings your child might be having - excitement, confusion, frustration, love. It can open up beautiful kōrero and help tamariki feel reassured, connected, and important as the family grows.
