Does your medically-complex child have a sibling? Are you contemplating adding one to the picture? In this episode, Katie Taylor, the child life specialist behind the popular podcast Child Life on Call, answers listener-questions.
We talk about educating them about their sibling’s medical needs, helping them cope with the difficult and complex emotions that often arise, and how to know if/when it’s time to add a sibling to the picture.
