New Baby Brother or Sister Social Story

This set of social stories is designed to help children prepare for the arrival of a new baby and adjust to becoming an older sibling. The stories explain the changes that may happen in the family and help children understand the different feelings they might experience during this exciting time.
 
The stories focus on building understanding, reassurance, and excitement about welcoming a new baby, helping children feel included and confident about their new role in the family.
 
The set includes four versions to suit different family situations:
Mum is pregnant
Single mum having a baby
New baby brother (after birth)
New baby sister (after birth)
 
These social stories provide comfort, clarity, and gentle guidance, helping children navigate the transition and celebrate the experience of gaining a new sibling.

Why Use This Social Story?
Social stories explain situations in simple, calm ways that are easy for kids to understand. They help children learn about social skills, expectations, and everyday situations. Social stories are especially helpful for kids on the autism spectrum or those who feel anxious when they don’t know what to expect.
 
How to Use This Story:
Read it with your child in a quiet setting where you can focus together.
Start by reading it twice with your child, then go over it regularly to reinforce the ideas.
Try to include the story in your child’s daily routine.
If the story is about changing a behaviour, read it when the behaviour happens (but not as a punishment).
Give lots of praise and keep the experience positive.
 
To make the story last, you might consider putting it in a display book or laminating the pages for regular use.
