When a sibling has a disability, family life can be difficult. Parents give most of their attention to the child who needs it most, and understandably so. But the other kids in the family notice. They learn to ask for less. They stop complaining. Over time, they start to feel invisible. My Own Light is written for those teenagers.Dr. Peter Thompson, a licensed school psychologist with over twenty-five years of experience, wrote this book for the capable, quietly struggling brother or sister. It gives teens ages 13 to 18 a research-backed way to understand their own experience and do something positive about it. At the center of the book is the Wheel of Strength, a six-part model paired with a Ten-Point Action Plan that turns helpful ideas into concrete steps they can take this week.Chapters are short, easy to read, and jargon-free. Most readers can move through the full text in a single sitting.This book is built around the most important idea: that you matter too!
