If you were to be invisible for just a day how would you feel? 

Your family doesn't see you. Your loved ones don’t speak to you. No one cares for you.

That's exactly how Glass Children feel. 

A sibling of a disabled child can be known as a Glass Child. The term ‘Glass child’ means people tend to see right through them and focus only on the person with the disability. “Glass” is also used because the children appear strong, but when in reality they aren’t.

As a result of this, Glass Children often become the forgotten child of the family. When they face challenges of their own, they often feel guilty about speaking up, as they’ve grown to feel like their siblings’ needs always take priority.

Glass Children often suppress their own needs, causing their voice to be forgotten within the world. 

The goal was to create a campaign where this group could freely express their feelings—without fear of judgment—while also reminding them that they are seen, heard, and valued. Collabing with the NSPCC, as they are the leading voice for children's rights and safety. 

These people often don’t talk about how it feels to be a Glass Child as they don’t mind being the sibling who has to sit with a different family on a roller coaster, or move to the next row on a flight and sit alone so their sibling can be with Mum and Dad. They don’t mind. It’s fine. 

But it's not fine.

Which leads to my big idea- It’s fine not to be fine.
