Hello all :0) Well, was looking into finding an actual journal of maybe someone who had experience with having a sibling who was a little person, just to give a little more insight as to how the sibling feels about being average stature. While researching this, I came across this: http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/eric/faq/siblings.html
It's still not exactly what I was looking for but I thought I'd share it to provide a more specific resource which explains some concerns the average child may have about their future and their siblings future. It explains the guilt the child may feel, and then provides explanations as to what the parent can do to support both children. Once I read this, I still kept looking for something more, like a journal response. I'm going to read the following entry, feel free to check it out as well. I'll share what I got from the source and elaborate on those findings. I'm still waiting for the momma to follow the post to provide personal insight. I spoke to her over the weekend and she's trying to get to it :) The bibliography information is: "Growing up with a sibling with dwarfism: perceptions of adult non‐dwarf siblings" Tharina Gusea* & Clare Harveyb [...] Disability & Society Volume 25, Issue 3, 2010, pages 387- 401 Available online: 28 Apr 2010 Access is needed so hopefully I can get this to use this week. Thanks!
