Preparing DD's support person?

[Flower of Bliss]

I have support person lined up for my almost 3 year old DD for the birth. I am hoping that she will be present for the birth or in another room and with us immediately afterwards. However, I know that many things might complicate that (DD's reactions to me in labor, my reactions to DD, how long the labor is, etc).

I'm getting together with her support person on Friday to discuss the birth. What sorts of things is it important to discuss? Any suggestions?

Questions or things I talked to my support person for my 2 and 4.5 yo:
Has she ever been at a birth before? A Home Birth?
Talk to her about what might go on, how you have labored in the past
Talk about how you have prepared your daughter so she can use the same terminology
Go over ideas of where/what they could do during that time period

My support person was a doula-in-training, so her role was a bit different (help with the kids and labor support - she traded back and forth with my husband). She was also though my 2yo's preschool teacher so knew my boys pretty well to begin with.
