Taking care of the "other kids" - non-disabled siblings

When you have a child with a disability, it isn't just a challenge to parent him or her. It's also a challenge to parent the "other kids" - those who do not have a disability. The balance in the family is thrown off in terms of time and energy at times.

This article highlights some feedback from adults who grew up with siblings with disabilities and offers practical tips and insights for parents. Another opportunity to not have to "reinvent the wheel"! So breathe a sigh of relief that someone else has time to check all of this out and give it a click if you're a parent, relative, friend or teacher who needs this information.
