Hello,
This is a weird thread I know but it's something I'm worrying about and I would ask in SN children but I haven't found I get much answers from there:
Just to mention glass child means a sibling of a child with SEN who sort of gets looked over because of how demanding the SEN child is and I was wondering how to deal with that to keep it at a minimum.
I was just wondering how people dealt with their children when one has SEN and physical needs without ignoring the other one.
I had an appointment with the paediatrician yesterday and we found out my almost 2 year old has low muscle tone and possibly ASD so he needs physiotherapy, speech therapy and eventually an ASD assessment.
He is a bit of a handful, he has meltdowns, he can't walk but he's so big it's hard to handle him but this only came to light after I had fallen pregnant as there's not a big age gap and I kinda already feel like my baby is being put on the back burner we are incredibly lucky in the sense she's happy to be changed and fed and then put back in her bassinet to sleep - it's almost like she isn't here to be honest which helps a lot when we're dealing with the toddler but he does go to childminders three times a week so I try and spend more time with her then but it's really worrying me about what both their futures look like so I was just asking for some advice really please if possible as I want to do my best by them both.
Thank you
