The Sibling Preparation Class helps children develop realistic expectations about their new baby brother or baby sister and helps reduce the anxiety about being separated from their mothers. Children ages 2 through 10 will learn how an additional child will change their families and how they can help with this adjustment. The free class includes:
- A tour of the Obstetrics Unit, including nursery
- Dressing up in hospital gowns, masks and caps
- Story time about having a baby
- Role-playing for children
Registration is required. To register or obtain more information, please call the hospital's Education Department at (319) 768-4070, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. You also may register by e-mail at education@grhs.net.
