In my life, birth order doesn't actually affect me that much as "LWFC" does for Tita (I am the youngest), but it still has some negative effects. Firstly, I am expected to do more than my brother. Since my brother is the one doing my mistakes, my parents think I should be able to learn from them and move on. This is probably the worst part of being the youngest, as it forces me to be better than someone who is already pretty well-behaved. Next, I am also given hand-me down and am not allowed to waste them. Instead of being able to buy my own clothes, my parents believe I should help save up by wearing my brother's. This doesn't really allow me to wear what I want. In conclusion, for me, being the youngest isn't really…
Corey (2016) states how the oldest sibling receives more attention and strives to keep ahead (p. 103). In regards to our birth order, Paul was treated more independently. He certainly was not spoiled and was influenced by mother to move out whenever he could. Furthermore, the second born child is most likely to look up to the older sibling and believe they are in training to take the lead away from the older sibling. Although, my second oldest brother, Luke was more emotionally nurtured by my mother. Luke looked up to my oldest brother as a role model and did not try to compete with him. In addition to being a middle child, Corey (2016) discloses how middle children feel left out, cheated, and labeled as the “problem child”. Certainly, throughout…

Many people believe that a child's placement in the family, such as oldest, youngest, or middle kid, influences the character traits of the child. The youngest child is usually the most easily spoiled and is more likely to be the popular kid or the lead clown in a group of kids. The only child tends too have problems with sharing, the oldest is always bossy, the youngest is always spoiled, and the middle kid is just stuck in the middle. I like to think of it there were right and left extremes. On the right extreme, there is the older child: bossy, and with less freedom. On the left extreme is the youngest child: spoiled, just a little baby sometimes. And then there's the middle kid: He/she's just somewhere in the middle, between all the bossiness and babyish traits.…
Dr. C. George Boeree discusses Adler's theory of holism. He says "in order to understand people, we have to understand them more as unified wholes than as a collection of bits and pieces, and we have to understand them in the context of their environment, both physical and social". http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/adler.html In Erikson's Stages of Development, he explains his views of how a person should progress through life effectively. By breaking this cycle down into eight stages, Erikson shows how an individual flourishes into a mature creature by successfully progressing through each stage of development. Each child is unique and deserves to reach his or her maximum potential. Adler and Erikson believe that roots have to be planted in children just as they are in trees. In this way the child can emerge as a whole unit rather than as disjointed jumble.…

personality, feelings, and thoughts. De. Leman stated in his Birth Order Book that “birth order is designed to give you clues about what an individual is like and what their thoughts and feelings are (75).” Birth Order can be affected by factors such as the number of siblings an individual has and the age gap separating them. Although an individual can not change his or her birth order, he or she can change a mindset which influences actions and personality. Birth Order affects personalities depending on if an individual is a firstborn, middle child, or the youngest.…
