They do a study to examine perceptions of adult sibling relationships with a brother or sister with severe disabilities and the contexts affecting the relationships. Adult siblings without disabilities only play or made relations with other without disabilities. It is because kids or adults without disabilities are abler to do activities than kids with disabilities can’t do. One example in the study was that one kid was with his brother, his brother was not able to play because he was involved in a crash accident and his legs won’t work correctly, the results on that was that the kid without disabilities didn’t play with his brother because his brother was different to him. Siblings play a unique role in the structure of familial and social lives in that they are more akin to peers compared with parents and guardians, though they still share a family bond in contrast with chosen friendships. Siblings spend more time together as children than they do with parents or guardians and peers, resulting in significant formative impact on social and emotional development. Kids love spend time to another kid of the same age, and they always understand more to another kids that their parents. One study by Heller & Arnold, “the study why kids understand more another kids that their parents” (p3) states that kids understand more to their friends or brother around the same age because kids are very happy when they are to others around the same age. Also the study shows that kids when are in the same age have a language that they understand. Kids around 2 years are not able to speak but, they make noises that make the other kids able to

    Being an older child in a family does not always have its benefits. Sometimes it puts you at a disadvantage when having younger brothers/sisters. Your parents might let them get away with more than they ever let you get away with, or they might even take up for them more than they would you. Having your parents and relatives take up for them in times that you know they should be either upset or disappointed in them might make you try to point it out to them. It would create an internal battle with your emotions for your brother/sister and your parents and relatives.…

    The general argument made by the author, Shelia Black in her September 2016 article “Passing My Disability On to My Children,” is that having an infirmity does not have any influence on a person’s aspiration’s nor objective’s in life. More specifically, Black argues that individuals with disabilities are more than able to have a not only jovial, but fulfilled life. She writes, “but it has taught me empathy” suggesting that being disabled has taught not only her but also her disabled daughter how to identify and be in connection with others during their hardships. In conclusion, Blacks belief is that there is nothing that a debilitated person is incapable…

    If a behavior or act that a child carried out was praised by an adult that response has been reinforced. It can be deduced then, that if the child has a younger sibling, he or she would also attempt the action to gain recognition. Of course, not all behaviors that children learn are positive as displayed in the Bobo Doll Experiment, which can cause negative personality traits later in life if not corrected. Therefore, a child’s environment and their observations throughout life is what determines their behavior and is not…
