Dr. Jill Emanuele 0:00
You wanna be having some conversation with your child about this and ongoing so they understand why there is a difference here. And part of talking to them about it is listening. And hearing what they have to say about it, rather than just saying it's you know, of course you're important, of course your brother or your sister has this issue that you don't have. You wanna say, Oh, how do you feel about that? What do you understand about what Johnny is dealing with?

Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and I'm excited to be bringing to you a show on the topic I probably get requested the most, and that is how to manage the dynamic between siblings, specifically when one or more siblings is. neurodivergent and the other, or more than one other, is neurotypical. When I was prepping for this episode, I posted on the Tilt Parenting Facebook page and asked for questions for my guest. And I was flooded with so many concerns and challenging scenarios, a lot of overlap there, a lot of really interesting questions.
Debbie Reber 1:14
So I searched high and low to find an ideal guest to get into all of it. And I found a fantastic one. Dr. Jill Emmanuel. Jill is the C. Senior Director of the Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute in New York City and is a clinical psychologist with a breadth of experience in the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents with mood and anxiety disorders. I had read an article on Child Mind's website called Siblings Under Stress, and I instantly reached out to get Jill onto the show. So, this is a jam-packed episode as we really do get into all of it. How to handle double standards when it comes to time and energy and attention focused on different children, how to talk to our kids about what's happening with their sibling, repairing sibling relationships in the aftermath of intense, aggressive, and even harmful behavior, and so much more.
Debbie Reber 2:08
So if you have more than one child and are struggling What's happening between them? I hope this episode gives you some hope, some great insights, and some practical strategies to bring a little more peace into your day-to-day.

I'm super excited that I found you um through the Child Mind Institute, which I've been, you know, I I share a lot of the resources and great content throughout the Tilt community, and I'm just super excited to be talking about this topic today. But before we get into that, can you just take a few minutes and introduce yourself to the audience and maybe tell us a little bit about the work that you do with the Child Mind?
Dr. Jill Emanuele 3:51
For sure. Um so I'm a child and adolescent psychologist. Um I am a psychologist that works mainly with what are called evidence-based treatments, treatments that have a research background to support uh the interventions that we do. And I work with children, adolescents, and young adults who primarily have mood disorders, so depression or sometimes even bipolar disorder, who kids whose emotions are really, really big. Um and we do different kinds of treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy or dial dialectical behavior therapy, if you've heard of some of those terms, um, to help these children.
