011 Order of Birth
Manage episode 438849615 series 3577100
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.
