Okay, this caught my eye. I’m a second-born, and was DEF a troublemaker compared to my older brother and younger brother. I was the one sneaking out to go party, while my brothers never got into trouble. I also have friends who are second-born and they were trouble as well.
Here’s how this conclusion can to be:
Researchers looked at thousands of sets of siblings and found that second-born children are 25% to 40% more likely to get in serious trouble at school or with the law. They say one possible explanation for these findings is that parenting styles can change. For example, first-born kids often receive undivided attention from parents, while younger siblings have to compete for attention.
So for me, this research rings true. How about for you?
