Awareness about sibling relationships in kindergarten

The theoretical part of the bachelor's thesis "Perception of sibling relationships among preschool teachers" summarizes the influences in development of a child's personality and the aspects of the different birth orders.

Analysis of the interviews explored teachers' awareness of the topic, their opinion on the influence of birth order and the possibility of using this knowledge in day-to-day work as kindergarten teachers, for example to explain the behavior of their wards.
