The Importance of Seeing All Your Children
I was thinking about how to help parents see all their children and also help their the siblings understand what's going on while still remaining as important in the household. I think there's a lot of guilt that comes up with this as well because parents want to be there for their children in all ways but you may have very real demands on your time. The child who was watching a sibling go through this is actually in a position to grow as a person to develop more empathy than ever before. It's okay for them to have spaces where they still are justjust a child on their own trajectory and not being adultified in that way.
