Is the order of birth important?

Although it is generally accepted that many other factors play a major role in the development of the child, and many play a greater role than the order of birth, it is difficult to deny that several standard personality traits affect their order for most people. On the other hand, they can often be excessive, too critical, convinced that they are right in all situations, susceptible to spend time over -evaluating the situation and risk that they do not see the overall image. On the other hand, they can often be too rebellious, cynical and suspicious, stubborn and are so afraid of embarrassment and confrontation that they cannot inform others when they need help with another person or situation. On the other hand, they can often be manipulative, a little absent, confident and a little scaly.

Only children often join aspects of the first and last births. They tend to be very driven and concentrated. They could addT feelings of incompetence - because their only comparison in childhood is with adults, but can also be socially and intellectually mature at an early age due to more oriented stimulation from adults.

The study of the order of birth is not by far science and it is important to remember that while some of these qualities may manifest themselves in the child, many of them do not have to. A number of social theorists have proposed that with a reduction in birth rates in the first world, we become a nation of more focused individuals due to increased home prevalence of only a child.

It is also interesting to grow the phenomenon of children who occupy more than one position in the order of birth - or have changed this position immediately. This happens when a family unit disintegrates, and then the parents got married again, perhaps to others who already have children. So it may happen that a single child remains the only child when he stays with his father, but has three half -siblings while staying with his mother.
