When it comes to sibling relationships—sibling rivalry, jealousy, and empathy can take place. When navigating a sibling relationship alongside the challenges of disability, it may occasionally impact the dynamic, posing long-term challenges.
In today’s show, Dina is joined by Dr. Carolyn Shivers, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Niagara University, NY. Shivers has been a part of multiple research papers, many addressing the dynamics in a sibling relationship with a disabled sibling. The family system typically depends on the disabled child’s needs, such as doctor's appointments, which can create instability in some aspects of the routine.
Dina and Dr. Shivers talk about the implications this can have on the sibling dynamic, including jealousy and preferential treatment. Tune in to find out how impactful it is in the long run, and how you can provide emotional support to your teenagers.
