When you see that big smile as they sip their favorite drink and start opening up to you about their day, you know you got it right… 💛

As parents to a child with a disability, it is so easy to get caught up in therapies, appointments, advocacy, or daily challenges.

You care deeply about ALL of your children, but the reality is that one child’s greater needs can shape an entire family dynamic.

At the end of the day, you’re doing the best you can with the energy, time, and resources you have available.

And while siblings may understand this on some level (depending on their age, of course), they still need support in processing their own experiences, as well as reassurance that they are equally loved and valued by you.

For us, starting this simple weekly tradition has been a reminder that even in the chaos, there’s always space for connection.

If you’ve ever wondered how to better support your child who has a brother or sister with a disability, our free Siblings Guide is filled with heartfelt and practical information, written by an adult sibling of a brother with a disability🥹

It includes:

✨Insights to help you better understand the sibling experience, including the range of emotions they may experience
✨Practical tips and ideas for how to provide support as parents
✨How to navigate challenging conversations with your kids
✨Ways to connect your child with outside support
✨So much more!!

Supporting siblings of children with disabilities is an ongoing journey, and there’s no single “right” way to navigate it...

But our free guide is a great place to start 🫶
