Keeping Up with the Kiddos: Balancing Special Needs & Neurotypical Siblings

In this deeply insightful episode of Inchstones, host Sarah Kernion sits down with child therapists Kerri Adams and Christina Rom from Love Play Grow to tackle a critical yet often overlooked topic: how to support neurotypical children growing up in families with special needs. Kerri and Christina share powerful insights on the unique emotional challenges these children face, from feeling overlooked to struggling with big emotions and expectations. They discuss the importance of acknowledging grief and loss in parenting, why failure is an essential part of growth, and how parents can create a balanced, nurturing environment for all their children. This conversation is a must-listen for parents seeking guidance, validation, and tools to help their neurotypical children feel seen, heard, and supported while navigating a neurodiverse family dynamic.
