In this video
Charlotte Snyder's June 2026 Q&A is mostly about siblings, starting with the older child when a new baby arrives. The live session is for parents of young children. Questions include an older child who wants to be carried like the baby too, and two children who both want the same toy. It closes with tears at hair washing time and a book list for children under six.
