Meet up with other brothers and sisters!

Meetings: Bi-monthly for Drop-In or Active Members

Ages: 8-13 (Age flexibility - please let us know if you have a child older who may be interested in attending!) *

Please be sure your child is able navigate Zoom independently 

"Nothing about us, without us"

Self-determination after all, is for everyone - including brothers and sisters!

During the Sibshop Club meetings we will provide brothers and sisters of siblings with a disability or special health care need an opportunity to:

• Meet other siblings in a relaxed, recreational setting
• Discuss common joys and concerns with other siblings
• Learn how others handle situations commonly experienced by siblings
• Learn more about their involvements in their sibling's life
• Will also provide parents and professionals with opportunities to learn more about the concerns and opportunities frequenly experienced by brothers and sister of people with disabilities and special health care needs. 

Fun activities: 

• Introductions in creative ways by drawing pictures or showing photographs
• Feelings on a Screen - Kids get to rate 1-10 if they do or do not like something (fun stuff - rollercoasters/food) and then ask about their sibling
• Stretch it Out - Kids get to pick their favorite stretch exercise and everyone participates
• Suitcase Race - Kids are going on a vacation and they have 3 minutes to find 3 things they want to bring with them - they bring back to the group to share
• Time Capsules - Kids get to talk about various times in their lives (a time when I was really proud of my sibling, I time I was really embarrassed by my sibling, a time my sibling helped me... etc)
• A visit from Aunt Blabby - a blogger who reads osts from bothers and sisters about questions they have and the group finds answers together.
• We have some guest speakers who will be attending throughout the year and we be visiting some places as well!

The great part is the kids decide what they like and want to do in the next session!  The Sibshop Club will continually be adding new and exciting activties and welcome any ideas or opportunies you may have as parent or family care giver.
