Siblings of children with Williams syndrome: Correlates of psychosocial adjustment and sibling relationship quality

Highlights: Overall, siblings of children with WS do not show heightened behavioural difficulties or anxiety compared to population norms. Caregivers report heightened emotional difficulties in some siblings of children with WS. Caregivers report fewer adjustment and relationship difficulties in siblings of children with WS than do the siblings themselves. Adjustment problems in siblings of children with WS are associated with increased caregiver depression and more sibling relationship conflict.
