Family

Having a child who has dyspraxia affects the whole family. You may find that you gear all family life around the needs of that child. It is possible that brothers and sisters feel neglected.

To help everyone, you could

  • try activities which involve the whole family equally
  • encourage each child to develop their own hobbies and interests so that comparisons are irrelevant
  • talk to your partner about the problems and be open about how you both feel
  • try to arrange time each week to concentrate on each child, and your partner
  • take time for yourself and keep in touch with friends
  • join a local support group. Some groups run events which include siblings
