Description

Sibling relationships can be full of love, loyalty and connection. They can also feel complicated and full of questions, especially when one child has disability.

Parents may wonder how to support each child while helping them understand one another.

This Virtual MyTime session is a chance to connect with other parents and carers. We’ll reflect on what helps each child feel seen, supported and included.

Share your experiences and talk about things like:

What sibling relationships look like in your family

Responding to conflict and reducing tension

Making space for each child’s needs

Helping siblings talk about their feelings

Supporting connection without forcing closeness

This is an online peer group

Virtual MyTime brings parents and carers together to talk and connect over topics families may be navigating.

Guided by a facilitator who is a peer, with space to hear from families, share your own experiences, or just listen.

This peer group discussion is not recorded, to respect and protect participants’ privacy.

Through MyTime I’ve found a community of parents who understand and support each other’s journeys. We share our challenges, wins, strategies and resources. It’s been so helpful and so supportive.
It’s powerful to hear real life stories and learn about strategies and resources from other families. Sessions like these offer hope, support, validation and belonging.
I felt instantly welcomed and supported by the facilitator and other parents. Loved it so much, felt like a very safe and supportive group.
