Research Notes on ADHD's Impact on Siblings
When a child has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, siblings of the child can be impacted as well.1 Due to the child with ADHD's behavior, siblings can be left feeling frustrated or exhausted.2 Siblings may also be left feeling as if they do not receive as much attention as the child with ADHD.2 Coping techniques can be used to help siblings of ADHD children feel as important as the child with ADHD.
Fast Facts:
- One of the most important things a parent can do is explain ADHD to the child's siblings.1
- Spending one-on-one time with the non-ADHD children can help ease feelings of resentment.1
- Parents should establish house rules for conduct, and enforce them for all children. Children with ADHD and their siblings should receive the same treatment.2
