The development of sibling relationship influenced by physical disability
FLAŠKOVÁ, Petra
A family is the basic unit for growing up of children in any way. One of the major prerequisites for child´s development is sense of security, love and the permanence of home environment. Children form a close attachment not only to their parents but to their siblings as well. The sibling can offer emotional support, sharing of both the happiness and the disappointment, the sibling can also keep some secret from parents or become a source of teaching new social roles. On the other hand, there can be a lot of conflicts and misunderstandings. Jealousy and rivalry can occur between the siblings as well. Every sibling relationship is specific in a sort of way. Even if one of the siblings is physically disabled, there can still be a very close attachment between them. The first chapter of the theoretical part deals with the sibling situation and its individual attributes of the order of their birthdates. The second chapter describes the factors that can influence the sibling situation. In the third chapter, I try to deal with the relationship between the siblings who create the own subsystem of family. They have to share the parent´s attention. Health disability is defined in the fourth chapter of this thesis and the topic continues up to physical disability. A specific attention is paid to the issue of children cerebral palsy and disabilities affiliated.In the practical part of the thesis was try to find out how the relationship developer between a healthy sibling and the other sibling with physical disability. Among the partial targets of my thesis is to find out whether the sibling situation has any role in the relationship and what demands from parents are placed on the healthy sibling. I chose qualitative research for my practical part and the collection of information was made by the method of interviewing. Then I have chosen semi-structured interview. The research was held from April to July 2013. The representative sample which I have chosen was formed from three groups of respondents. The first group contains intact siblings, the second group is formed by siblings with physical disability who are in a sibling relationship with the first group and the third group includes parents of these siblings. The interview with the second group was not always possible due to the degree of mental disability. The research indicated that informing about the disability of the sibling is one of the most important factors for the development of the relationship. Their future relationship is based on the healthy sibling´s reaction about the information of the disability of his sibling. The high-risk period of time of development of the relationship is the time of growing up. The relationship was stabilised in the time of maturity. The precondition for a good development of the relationship influenced with physical disability was spending the spare time together and there is usually more free time in childhood than in adulthood. The research proved the influence of sibling situation. This means, that the younger healthy sibling takes the role of the first-born instead of his or her older sibling with disability. The former expectations and vision of the parents could not been fullfilled with the disabled child. Therefore the parents place increased demands about the school success and the whole life of the healthy child. Healthy siblings accepted the increased attention which their parents paid to the sibling with physical disability. Anyway, there were several examples when the healthy child was jealous about his disabled sibling. This bachelor thesis could be helpful information source for the families who have children with physical disability. Further it could be also useful for the workers on helping professions.

Sibling Constellation and its Influence on Personal Characteristics
SOJKOVÁ, Eva
The topic of this work is the influence of sibling constellations on personal characteristics. It focuses on the influence which the birth-order in family has on the psychological traits and social relations of a person. The first chapter charts the theoretical aspects of the question, namely, what kind of influence can sibling constellation have. The second chapter describes the personal traits in relation to the four basic positions of a person amongst siblings {--} first-born, middle-born, last-born, and the only child. The third chapter focuses on some specific aspects of the problem, such as how sibling constellations influence person{\crq}s masculinity/femininity, choice of a partner, marriage, and a choice of one{\crq}s career. The last theoretical chapter deals with the question of the optimal sibling constellation. In the practical part of this work I try to discover the typical characteristics of the first-borns, middle-borns, last-borns, and those without siblings. The results of this research indicate certain possibilities with respect to the specificity of their attitudes to the realities of human life.
