Your birth order can shape your destiny! Know how

How your birth order can tell about your personality
Your birth order can really affect your personality. We all know these 4 stereotypes when it comes to birth order personalities; the only child always have trouble in sharing his or her feeling, the oldest child is always bossy, the youngest ones are naughty and spoilt and the middle – well the middle is stuck in the middle. So read on to find out truth behind birth order differences.
Birth order does matter
According to some researchers, your birth order is as important as gender and genetics. No two children can ever take the same role, because parents are different with each of their children. For example, if you are responsible the care taking child, then that role is taken and your sibling will take another role in the family, perhaps that of the achiever.
Parents are different with each child
If you think about it, firstborn children enter a family of adults who are proud of their every progress and frightened by every potential injury. The child caught in the middle is often dominated by the firstborn, who is older, wiser and more competent. By the time the baby arrives, parents are usually worn down, worn out and less likely to micro-manage. By now, they have become be more flexible in both attention and discipline.

Oldest Children

Firstborns are natural leaders. They also tend to be reliable, conscientious and perfectionists who don’t like surprises. Although, firstborns are typically aggressive, many are also compliant people pleasers. They are model children who have a strong need for approval from anyone in charge. With mum and dad gushing over every firstborn, older children are often more motivated to achieve, a trait enhanced by the fact that they don’t have older siblings making fun of them as they try new things.

Character traits of a first born

Taking the lead from their parents, they like taking charge and want everything to be just right. This may also mean they struggle to admit when they are wrong. Intriguingly, every astronaut to go into space has been the oldest child in his or her family. And throughout history, more than half of all Nobel Prize winners and US presidents have been first born. Another characteristic of first-borns is caution and aversion to risk. They’re the least likely to travel or be physically daring.

Middle Children

Middle children often believe their elder siblings are given all the advantages and that the babies of the family are spoilt. In response, they are often good negotiators, have realistic expectations and tend to be the most independent. And because they are often without a clear role in the family lineup, they build bridges to other sources of support and tend to have good people skills. They are the most difficult to pin down. They are guaranteed to be opposite of their older sibling.

Character traits of the second born

Because the middle child feels that the world pays him less attention, he tends to be secretive; he does not openly share his thoughts or feelings. They can usually read people well, they are peacemakers who see all sides of a situation, and they are independent and inventive. If a firstborn is a company’s CEO, the middle child is the entrepreneur. Other traits common to middle children include: Less likely to act out or misbehave, Team players, Peer-oriented, independent and cooperative.

Youngest Children

 

 

Contrary to the popular belief, being the youngest isn’t all fun and games because last-borns view their elder siblings as faster, stronger, bigger and smarter, they tend to adopt an ‘I’ll show them’ attitude. They can often be rebellious. And as the baby of the family they can be a little spoilt and very charming – and they are usually the most creative. Babies of the family are social and outgoing, they are the most financially irresponsible of all birth orders. They just want to have a good time.

Character traits of the last born

The youngest child does not have either the pressures of the oldest child or the “left out” feeling of middle child. Many last-borns choose a completely different path to their older siblings to avoid direct competition. While lastborns may be charming, they also have the potential to be manipulative, spoiled or babied to the point of helplessness. Traits that researchers commonly find in youngest children: charming, affectionate, immature, more agreeable, rebellious, empathetic, artistic, persistent, popular, social, confident, attention-loving, impatient, manipulative.

Only Child

Only children share very similar characteristics to firstborns and frequently shoulder parents’ high expectations. He can have a more driven personality than even a firstborn. He may be described like a firstborn (well-organized, reliable, conscientious, serious, and conservative) to an extra degree. The urge for perfection may develop into a tendency to be critical of himself and others. They are also likely to use their imagination more than other children, and usually get along better with people older than themselves.
