Sibling Issues

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

As you know, we are working on our 2007 conference for Richmond Virginia USA.

One thing we are planning to do is have a side by side conference for the

youth and young adults. Here, they will have fun activities to learn and also

important " life skills " to help them become independant adults.

Last night, during our conference planning meeting, the issue of Siblings came

up. More pointedly, Should we have a Sib Shop for the siblings?

But, none of us really know what a Sib Shop is all about. I do know someone

who could do one for us (possibly), but before I ask her about it, I wanted to

know all of your opinions.

Do your children have any issues with having a sibling with MDS?

Would they benefit from a Sib Shop?

And, How old are your children, because we are not sure of the age range we

should do this for if we decide to do it.

Have any of your children ever participated in a Sib Shop?

Thanks in advance for your input on this. This is a very important topic and

something that we should all address, if even within our support group.

Thanks

Kristy
