Do you think your other children ever feel missed out or feel they don't get enough attention?
I worry about Grace, although she is only young at the moment. I try to give them equal attention but obviously Ellie needs more help. Like if we go to the park, Grace goes off on her own but I need to follow Ellie. Would Grace ever think that is me giving Ellie more attention?
We have a lady come round from the Complex SN team and she was telling me that there is a group Grace could go to when she is 5. It is for siblings of SN children. It sounded really good. They do painting, games etc and very simply talk about their siblings/illnesses. Then as they get older they go to a group were they talk about feeling left out, their feelings etc and meet others. Sounds good.
Has anyone got older children and they have commented on being left out?
