October 6, 2022“Understanding Child Birth Order”“Understanding Child Birth Order”
–
October 6, 2022Birth order is a fun and interesting topic you may not have considered. Research shows that a person’s birth order has a direct link with his or her personality. These stereotypes on birth order may sound silly, but their foundation has an interesting degree of scientific accuracy. But does birth order influence personality, or is personality shaped based on the ages of siblings around them? Understanding birth order positions allows parents, guardians, and teachers to guide and support children and strengthen positive qualities.
