011 Order of Birth

Birth order theory suggests that our place among siblings can leave a lasting imprint on our personalities and behaviour. You've probably heard people joke about how the eldest child is the boss you want, the middle child is the peacemaker and the youngest child is the responsible rebel. Whilst each birth order position comes with its own set of characteristics and challenges, does the order of your child's have really determined their personality?

In this episode, we’re going to discuss siblings' order, and share our experiences and insights into how the order of birth might affect our children’s personalities.

What is Covered:

-How we experienced the siblings order as we were growing up

-How the number of children and whether they are boys or girls affect their expression in a family

-The role of the eldest sibling and how age gap between siblings plays into birth order theory

-Grouping of children when there are many in the family, and why parental styles differ from the oldest to the youngest child

-The characteristics of a firstborn, a secondborn, a lastborn, and the only child

-How the expected gender roles in a family affect the conflicts between siblings

-How the order of birth in our primary family later affects our parenting style

-What is the magic number of children?
