Lesson 32: Siblings and Friends - Slide 11
Different Birth Order Helps
Siblings Turn Out Different
- Take a piece of paper and make a list of your siblings in order of birth
- Birth order explains some of the differences in siblings because it explains differences in age, size, power, and privilege
- Who came first and who came last makes a difference
- If you are an only child:
- Your qualities often match that of an eldest sibling
- Your life has much less parental conflict
- Your life has much less total conflict due to lack of competition for limited parental resources
