Sažetak
The aim of this paper was to provide a narrative review of research on parenting styles and behaviours towards typically developing children who have a sibling with developmental disabilities. The paper presents a model of parenting styles and the dimensions that describe parental behaviours and their determinants. After defining the construct of unequal parental treatment, research on its association with developmental outcomes in children are described. The second part of the paper presents a detailed review of findings on unequal parental treatment in families with a child with developmental disabilities. A review of relevant research suggests that unequal parental treatment is often observed in families with a child with
developmental disabilities and is manifested in the following contexts: in the perception of typically developing children that their parents do not devote equal attention and time to them as they do to siblings with developmental disabilities, in the involvement of typically developing children in caregiving for their sibling with disabilities, and in the lack of autonomy felt by typically developing children. Unequal parental treatment in these families is associated with the quality of sibling relationships, as well as with the development of internalising and externalising problems in typically developing children. This paper also discusses the limitations of classical theories and research designs associated with the neglect of the
bidirectional paths between parenting styles / behaviours and child behaviour, as well as the mismatch between theoretical concepts and methods of measurement of constructs. Finally,
guidelines for future research are highlighted, along with recommendations on how existing knowledge can contribute to supporting programmes on the parenting of children with and
without disabilities.
