[quote=Anonymous][quote] Whether or not OP tolerated the hitting, [b]she dismissed her NT kid's feelings and basically told him that he needed to "understand" his ADHD sibling. [/b]When he tried to be kind and helpful, the ADHD sibling lashed out. The OP is full of understanding for her ADHD son, but much less for the other son. Constantly demanding that one sibling accept and understand the other, effectively taking one kid's side, is toxic for sibling relationships.[/quote] Exactly. When someone has been hit, do not tell them to understand the person who has struck them. It teaches the child that their feelings don’t matter, especially not as much as their sibling’s. OP, family therapy can help untangle what’s going on in your family and give everyone, including your NT child, a place to be heard. It can also teach you how to hold your ADHD child accountable while being respectful and compassionate about their needs.[/quote]
