To compare self-esteem and maternal attitude between children with learning disability and their unaffected siblings.
This cross sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in an urban setting. It comprised of 31 pairs of children with a learning disability, their unaffected siblings and input from their mothers. All children were assessed with Rosenberg self-esteem scale. Mothers were asked to fill Index of parental attitude (IPA) and semi structured proforma with demographic data and questionnaire about her children with a learning disability and his/her unaffected sibling.
Self-esteem was found to be lower in children with learning disability. They felt they do not have much to be proud of and have a fewer number of good qualities. They are also inclined to consider themselves as failures. In factors affecting self-esteem, index of parental attitude was found to be unfavorable towards children with learning disability. Mothers felt child was interfering with their activities and was getting on their nerves. In addition, they also felt that they do not understand their child, feel like they do not love their child and wished that child was more like others they know off. More academic failures, academic difficulties and negative school report were also perceived by mother as lowering child's self-esteem.

比较学习障碍儿童及其未受影响的兄弟姐妹的自尊和母亲态度。
这是一项在城市环境中的三级保健医院进行的横断面研究。它包括 31 对患有学习障碍的儿童及其未受影响的兄弟姐妹，以及他们母亲的信息。所有儿童均接受罗森伯格自尊量表评估。母亲被要求填写父母态度指数（IPA）和半结构化表格，内容包括人口统计学数据以及关于她的学习障碍儿童及其未受影响的兄弟姐妹的问卷。
学习障碍儿童的自尊心较低。他们觉得自己没有太多值得骄傲的地方，也没有那么多优点。他们也倾向于认为自己是失败者。在影响自尊的因素中，父母态度指数对学习障碍儿童不利。母亲觉得孩子妨碍了他们的活动，让他们感到烦躁。此外，他们还觉得自己不了解孩子，觉得自己不爱孩子，希望孩子更像他们认识的其他人。更多的学业失败、学业困难和负面学校报告也被母亲认为会降低孩子的自尊心。
