Topic > The impact of birth order on children's personality

In the same family, children become different depending on their birth order. When a child is born into a family he becomes an only child, eldest child, middle child or youngest child of that family. So, children behave with their parents differently. This is why I am saying that there are differences between children of the same family in terms of behavior, rights, advantages etc. towards parents and others. “How Your Birth Order Affects Your Adjustment to Life,” an article written by Lucille K. Forer is a great article that I really agree with her on birth order. You described well through your article the only child, the eldest child, the middle child and the youngest child. I think all of your descriptions are very accurate. I am the eldest child in my family. We are only two brothers in number. My younger brother is 15 years old. My father has many expectations from me: I will be more responsible towards my family. For example, since I am the eldest child, I have to support my family in the very near future with my income. So my father expects me to complete my life of study very soon and take up a job to support our family. Because of this, I didn't display my childish behavior for long. My parents also tend to expect me to parent my brother. Since he is 8 years younger than me, I should take care of him. For example, I should teach him, picking him up and bringing him from school, etc. And I do these tasks. I consider myself a capable and responsible person, what my parents also expect from me. The reason is that I get up early in the morning and do my shopping at the market such as vegetables, meat or things that I need daily. One day my father told me that I am very responsible and capable for every family, seeing my daily shoes... middle of paper... my friend. And I also agree with my uncle. If all parents in our country behaved like this, I think it would be a good sign for us. Every child will be more responsible and confident. Most importantly, the birth order of each family always varies from another family. In every family, children behave differently from each other. In reality, this is a result of the location, the educational environment and the companies they mix with. For example, if a child associates with good companies, he takes all the positive signals from them and vice versa. Therefore, his attitude grows from time to time. Also, parents should try to always keep an eye on their children: what they are doing, where they are going, etc. Otherwise, a child may become a slacker or a wanderer among other children. If we follow these principles, at least all children in the same family will be kind despite their differences.
