Great River Health Systems is offering a sibling-preparation class from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday, May 12.

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 the nursery

·   Dressing up in hospital gowns, masks and caps

·   Role-playing for children

·   Story time about having a baby
