"That's Not Fair!" Helping the Child with a Sibling Who Has Special Needs
Brodkin, Adele M.
Early Childhood Today (1), v20 n4 p18-19 Jan-Feb 2006
This article describes the resentment and jealousy that is sometimes exhibited by siblings of special-needs children, and the steps that can be taken by teachers and parents to help these children reestablish their social-emotional balance. Dr. Brodkin suggests that teachers be alert for opportunities to praise such children when they exhibit signs of cooperation, helpfulness, or consideration. Parents should make an effort to spend individual time with the child, and, if the situation does not improve, seek the guidance of a counselor skilled at working with families that include children with special needs.
