Using a retrospective questionnaire method, the authors evaluated the neuropsychologic status of 20 IVF children and the family relationships. The status of the children is favourable and in certain activities (composition of sentences) the children were better than their peers. According to the authors this is due to the increased care of mature parents after the arrival of the long expected child. The authors confirmed on their own material that the birth of an IVF child has a far reaching positive biological, psychological and social impact on both parents and training of their children. If the family environment was influenced by long lasting treatment of sterility, the arrival of an IVF child normalizes the situation.
