In any family if there is at least one child who is suffering from ADHD then the life is not peaceful. At times the life becomes interesting and fun with the same child, this fun life drastically changes to frustrating and exhausting at times with the same child. The life of siblings of the child suffering from ADHD is chaotic and even extremely effective them in a wrong way. They often get frustrated with the way things in family life shape up.
The life for siblings can be full of resentment anger and even frustration. Caring for a child suffering from ADHD often turns out to be really a tiring job requires lot of work patience and even dedication not only on the part of the child but from the family and even siblings too. The siblings may also turn prey to ADHD because of the hyperactivity and even the frustration that is caused due to the care and concern that is being shown by the family towards the child suffering from ADHD. There is regular frustration and hyper behavioral pattern that can be seen in children who are not suffering from ADHD, but there siblings are. I have even noticed many a times in lot of children a set behavior pattern in non ADHD suffering children. These are basically the siblings of ADHD patients.
The siblings of ADHD sufferers often grow self reliant and even spend most of the time with themselves and not caring and waiting for others to interact with them. They isolate themselves from the family natters and do not participate in the groups or even family get together. These would play quietly and restrict themselves to a place and to some particular people and do not become open and frank with everyone. They would sometimes even feel guilty of requiring such attention as they know that siblings are in need of special care so they at times feel the guilt inside.
These children would often try hard to please their parents and even their friends as they feel neglected often and hence they want full attention. They require constant attention and goodwill from others just to keep their expectations up.
The siblings of ADHD patients feel that bad behavior is most commonly noticed by the parents so they oft6en try to imitate their ADHD sibling and also would want everyone to notice it. they would often do bad behavior so that their parents see it and give them attention.
These children without ADHD disorder would start faring badly in their school and academics. This way they would want their parents to notice them.
They would become hyperactive themselves and can even be short tempered.
In my advice parents should take proper care of ADHD patient’s sibling’s too. So they do not feel neglected and do not turn prey to ADHD symptoms.
