What's on the minds of RAD Sibs?
Your sibling with RAD can demand a lot of
your parents’ time and attention.
As a result, you may have responsibility and independence, which can be good. Oftentimes, however, you might need or simply want time with your parents. It can hurt if your parents don’t seem to notice when you get an ‘A’ on your science test, or your big soccer game or band concert is coming up. Maybe you have something more serious to talk to your parents about. Perhaps your RAD sibling has hurt you in some way that your parents might not know about.
Your parents might be busy taking care of your sibling, but they still need and want to know how you’re doing. Find a time when your sibling with RAD is not with them and talk with your parents about how you’re feeling, even if it may be tough to do. Be brave. Chances are, you’ll feel better when you do.
