In an interview with BuzzFeed, Addesi said when parents have this revelation it is important to admit it and apologize to their children. “Acknowledge it instead of letting it go unnoticed. Let them know that two things can be true at once: Their sibling needs extra support or attention, and you still care about them and want to address their needs.”
“I always recommend that parents have a plan with their glass children that works for both of them. Sometimes, this means setting aside 60 minutes at the end of each week to talk about everything…to ensure they are still involved in their life. Sometimes, it means ending each night with a five-minute conversation.”
