'Glass children' and their siblings are opening up about their experiences on both sides of the coin.
. "Each child's experience will be different, but as they come into their tween and teen years, they could experience withdrawal from the family, behavioral, and/or mental health issues. They might also seek outside acceptance and attention," says Amodio.
Socially, Hafeez says, "It can impact the 'healthy' child's ability to have fun; often, plans need to be changed to accommodate the other sibling. They may feel hesitant to invite other children/teens to their homes to socialize." Emotionally, she adds, "there can be rivalry, jealousy for parental attention, resentment toward their sibling, anxiety, and depression.
"Giving praise is always a great tactic to ensure that kids feel seen and valued, but be sure that if a child is constantly being praised for doing high-level tasks that they do not feel that their worth is only tied to their productivity and independence," she adds. Just because you might not notice something or they don't vocalize it doesn't mean it's not there. "Ask your child how they are feeling and what they might want or need," she says.
