Birth Order Trait

Week 4

• The eldest child: more responsible, mature, often a perfectionist, a good leader, higher IQ, low self-esteem
• 
  
• The middle child:(any child born in between the eldest and youngest): not an over achiever, creative, artistically inclined, often felt neglected, lack of direction
• 
  
• The youngest child: often get away anything, not independent, often not taken seriously

 Not all of the above statement is correct. I believe that we are not purportedly born with traits or character that matches our birth order. I am the youngest child in my family and I do not think all youngest often get away with anything, not independent and often not taken seriously.

My parents had to educate our young brothers and sisters out to be independent and to think in a rational way, especially me because I was the youngest. I live independently from young and my parents treated us all fairly. For me as the youngest child, I need to be more independent and be serious in what I’m doing. This will ensure to my parents that I can survive successfully without other’s help. And hence this will probably showed to them that I am responsible and bear anything on my shoulder in all what I have done.

As we know the eldest child more responsible and such a good leader. But not all of them have these characteristic. Sometimes, the eldest child is arrogant and misused their power because they think that the power is all in their hand. More to worst, when their parents puts hundred percent trust on them.

In my point of view, the above statement is totally wrong!
