Firstborn, middle, or youngest? Birth order affects children’s health
Conclusion While birth order can influence a person’s life, nothing is definitive. Experts emphasize that parents can avoid common stereotypes by how they interact with their children. Parents should avoid labeling or comparing and instead highlight each child’s individual strengths. Building emotional connections by asking about their feelings regarding family roles can help children feel seen and valued.
Spending dedicated time with each child, even briefly, fosters a sense of belonging and importance. Together, these approaches can guide children toward healthy, independent growth.
