What is a “glass child?”

A glass child is a colloquial term used to describe a sibling of a child with special needs. The special needs can include: developmental, cognitive, behavioral, and medical. The glass child may feel overlooked, invisible, or transparent as a result of the attention needed for the sibling with special needs. A glass child, despite intense resilience, may feel like a perfectionist, that their emotions are burdensome, and that they need to be self-sufficient. It is not uncommon for the glass child to feel resentful towards or jealous of the attention that their sibling receives, to witness traumatic medical, emotional, or behavioral events without the adequate support, or to feel dismissed regarding their emotional reactions.

Emotional impact

Glass children may experience adverse emotional effects, such as anxiety and depression. The glass child may develop people pleasing tendencies, often putting the emotions of others before their own. They may also be a perfectionist, putting unnecessary pressure on themself to succeed.

Group Schedule

The group will meet weekly, on Thursdays from 5-6pm for 10 sessions at Wellness Embodied. 

This is a closed processing group that incorporates methods such as creative arts, cognitive reprocessing, and dialectical behavioral approaches. Clients can expect to collage, play games, and connect with peers who experience similar struggles as them.
