Birth Order Trait

Birth order is just one of many factors that influence the ways in which this competition is expressed. By itself,competition among siblings does not cause birth-order differences in personality. But birth order is a powerful proximate (environmental) source of sibling strategies. These strategic variations arise because birth order is correlated with differences in age, physical size, power, and status within the family. These disparities cause siblings to experience family relationships in dissimilar ways and to pursue differing ways of maximizing their parents’ investments in their welfare.

The environment that a child is raised in plays a big part in how their personality will  develop. Consequently many child will exhibit different character traits and characteristics depending on their birth order or if they are an only child. Of course birth order doesn't guarantee that your first child will have all or even any of the traits typically associated with  a first child; but birth order tends to accentuate character traits that your child already possesses. Of course if there are large gaps between your children or you have one boy in a family of girls you might have overlapping birth order characteristics.

First-born children desire control and they will typically become a compliant nurturer or a more aggressive mover and shaker. Thats right.As my brother is a first child,he is a quite aggressive but nice person.He is consumed with following the rules and is a high achiever.  He takes a good care of his siblings and very responsible brother. He can also be bossy.

The middle child will demonstrate the greatest variety of character traits, but they will usually be opposite of their older sibling. As the middle chlid, i will try to be unique, so that my parents could recognize my own talents. Middle children often feel stuck in the middle so take time to listen will help empower them and make them feel special.

Youngest children are usually very different from their older siblings My youngest brother tend to be more social and funny. He doesn't have as much responsibility and are more carefree. He is also often driven to catch up with his older siblings and follow in their footsteps. It is important that parents still enforce the rules when their youngest comes along. It is easy to just let things slide, but once it starts it is hard to stop. My parents often baby their youngest child because he is the last one. Thats why he become more childish. But it is important to teach responsibility, and also need to applaud their accomplishments.
