How To Ease The Situation At Home For Your Younger Siblings

How can I ease the situation at home for my younger siblings?

Often older siblings really want to look after younger siblings. And if things at home aren't easy, or if there are particular difficulties at home, often older siblings feel really responsible, and want to keep younger siblings feeling safe and happy. But it's a lot of responsibility to take on. And if it's not feeling nice at home for your younger siblings, then it's probably also not feeling very nice at home for yourself. There's lots of things that you can do to look after younger siblings and make them feel supported and looked-after. Maybe you want to take them to your room for a bit and spend some time out with them. Take them for a walk. Go in the garden. Do things they enjoy that will take their minds off how difficult it is at home. But equally, if you're doing that for them, you need to think of yourself and make sure that you're getting your own needs met too, and that there's someone doing that for you.
