Summary/Abstract: The process of hearing children growing up in families with deaf parents is little known despite its specificity. The developmental context for children is the bicultural and bilingual nature of their families, the disability of their parents, and the lack of an adequate support system for deaf parenting. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the parental attitudes of deaf parents and the family roles undertaken by their hearing children. Two questionnaires were used in the study: Questionnaire for the Retrospective Evaluation of Parental Attitudes (KPR - Roc) by Mieczysław Plopa (2008) and the Questionnaire of Family Roles (KRR) by Andrzej Margasiński (2018). The analysis of the results showed that when deaf parents were overly demanding or inconsistent, their hearing children were more likely to adopt the role of a scapegoat or lost child.
