How to Support Your Child When Welcoming a New Sibling into The Family
If you are expecting a baby this year, what can you do to support your child/children in preparing to welcome your new baby? After all, introducing a new baby into the family dynamic can be a significant adjustment for everyone involved, especially siblings.

When our bodies are out of balance, the first place this show up is in our menstrual cycle, and endometriosis is one way for our bodies to demonstrate this.
