Does birth order influence personality?
I ran across this concept a while back. It seems some believe that in families with multiple children, the order of their birth predisposes each child to a certain type personality. If you route your browser to the following link you will see the article. http://www.thelouisvillechannel.com/family/3784843/detail.html Some research indicates that a First Child is: Self-confident and a perfectionist due to the feeling that their parents watch their every move. A Middle Child is: Social, a good negotiator, and may feel left out in the middle position with focus going to the oldest and youngest. The Youngest Child is: Charming and may feel inferior to the older children.
