Have you ever wondered does a child’s birth order help shape their personality?
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average amount of children per family is 1.8.
So even though it’s not as common that families are as large as they used to be, it is fascinating to understand the psychology behind first, second, third, and subsequent children’s birth order. Also, how science and research determines what the birth order says about the child’s personality
To help share her expert information and advice we speak with Dianne Gramp, a Senior Registered Psychologist from Positive Mind Works
Dianne has 20 years of experience in private practice working with children, adolescents, and adults.
We ask Dianne questions including:
- Does birth order really affect a child’s personality?
- What are some of the assumptions about firstborns that we should know about?
- Could you please share with us the common assumptions about Middle-born children? What does science tell us is actually true about them?
- Are there any common assumptions about younger or last-borns?
- What are the commonly claimed characteristics of all children we should know about?
- What does science tell us is important for parents to know about their child’s births order?
- Should parents treat children differently depending on their birth order?
- What do psychologists know is important in family dynamics for raising psychologically healthy children, regardless of their birth order?
- How are attachment styles a powerful predictor of a child’s later social and psychological outcome?
- What are parental personality styles and how can they become a powerful parenting tool?
