There are some parenting moments that knock the air out of you.


Like when your child says “I hate that everything is about him.”
Or, “I wish she wasn’t like this.”


Those words can hit you in the gut like a ton of bricks.


In this episode, we’re talking about what to do (and what NOT to do) when resentment shows up between siblings in a special needs household. 


We’ll talk about:

  • Why sibling resentment is more common than anyone admits
  • What that resentment is usually actually about
  • The mistake most parents make in the moment 
  • How to respond in a way that builds emotional safety instead of shutting things down


If you’ve ever felt that wave of guilt or panic when your child says something hard about their sibling, this conversation is one you’re not going to want to miss.
