Detailed Assessment

Regression surface analysis was used to examine relationships between birth order and the cognitive performance of 11-yr.-old Canadian boys. A detailed assessment of the family environment was included. At each level of family environment birth order has little or no relation with mental ability scores but, if families create differential learning environments for their children, then the regression surfaces indicate that a child's position in a family is related to cognitive performance.

Initial Reading

The Bloom model of development was used to examine relations between the family environment and measures of the reading development of a national sample of English children. The sample was divided into three age cohorts. The initial reading performance and the family environment of the children were assessed when the average ages in the cohorts were 7, 8 and 11 and assessed again four years later. Regression surface analysis, which provided only partial support for the Bloom model, was conducted separately for girls and boys and for middle and lower social status groups. From the analysis the following general propositions are suggested: (a) for children with low initial reading levels increases in the quality of the intervening family environment are not associated with changes in later reading performance, (b) at any initial reading level children who experience a poor intervening family environment show a decline in their later reading performance, relative to the achievement of other children, and (c) children with high initial reading scores either maintain or increase their relative position in reading performance, with respect to other children, if they experience an enriched intervening family environment.

Intelligence Test Scores

Regression surface analysis was used to examine the confluence model which proposes that the relations between birth order and intellectual ability are accounted for by the age spacing between adjacent siblings. The model was extended to investigate relationships between birth order, age spacing between older and younger adjacent siblings, and measures of intelligence, mathematics, word knowledge, word comprehension, the language environment of the family, and parents' expectations for 500 11-yr.-old Australian children. The results provided support for the confluence model when relations between birth order, age spacing to younger adjacent siblings, and intelligence test scores were investigated but in general the propositions of the confluence model were not supported when the academic achievement and family environment scores were examined.

Many are peeling many of wich explore the child’s ungodly behavior to parents, but few who explore the opposite phenomenon of the ungodly behavior of parents against their children. Children is a grace from God of Allah swt to his parents to be grateful, educated and fostered to be a good person, strong personality and ethical Islamic. While, the development of religion in children is largely determined by the education and their experience, especially during the pre-election period of expectant mothers and fathers and the first growth period from 0 to 12 years. For that, the author is moved to explore and examine (about) the concept of elderly parents in the perspective of Islam. This is the author thoroughly to know who exactly the child in his existence according to Islam? What is the rule and rule of education in family and family roles in children’s education? What are the preparations (actions) that are classified as the ungodly behavior of parens against the child? In this study shows there is an effect (impact) between the family environment (parents) on the formation of islamic character and ethics in children from an early age mainly from the factors of prospective fathers and prospective mothers so the authors get the correlation that the failure of good personality planting in early childhood will turn out to form a problematic person in his adulthood (his grow up). While the success of parents guiding their children will determine the formation of character and their morals so that the family environment conditions are crucial for the success of children in social life in their adult life later (after grow up).  In this study resulted in the conclusion that there are some things that make the parents become ungodly against their children and it has been conceptualized in the holy book of the Qur’an which at least in this study collected there are 14 components of eldery behavior of the lawless to their children.
