Description
Tomomi Tanigo and colleagues pilot a birth class designed for the second child, where the first child is a student too, in this study from twenty twenty-five. A second baby changes a family differently than a first. The class they tested is a single family session that hands the older sibling a real part in preparing.
Eighteen mothers who took the class were compared with thirty-four who did not, one month after birth. The class group scored higher on a standard scale of parenting confidence. Interviews filled in why: families described smoother settling-in, pride in the firstborn growing into the sibling role, and practical reuse of the class's hands-on moments. The authors are frank that this small, non-randomized pilot shows association, not proof. They propose the family-wide approach as a promising route to steadier second-time parenthood.
