Opportunities, Challenges and Strategies for Siblings of Rare Disease Children
On this episode, Randy and Nathan will discuss siblings of our rare disease kiddos.
Three main takeaways..
Siblings will naturally grow into their roles as an exceptional needs brothers or sisters, however that does not remove our responsibility as parents to help equip them for the task.
Rare disease siblings seem to mature quicker, gain more perspective earlier in life but we as parents need to go out of our way to ensure that they can still be kids and have typical childhood experiences.
Siblings will be siblings - they will bother one another regardless of rare disorder or not! Allow our neuro-typical siblings to be real, get annoyed, upset, etc.
