Family Involvement
Each family member will take on a unique caregiver role and face opportunities to participate in the transitioning of a child from hospital to home. It is important at this time to allow siblings to set the role they are comfortable fulfilling and to help them understand that the family is growing and all members are equally valuable. When the new baby is medically fragile or disabled it is vital that all potential caregivers understand the child’s unique needs and how best they can provide support; including age appropriate information for siblings.
