Do you believe in Middle Child Syndrome?I think whatever position you are in your family helps to shape your personality. So the firstborn will be the first to reach milestones with all the focus and attention on them which is a positive thing. However, I suppose the negatives of being the firstborn is that you have brand new parents who will learn by trial and error on lots of things. I am the youngest of six so the parenting was well established when I came along and having older parents came with more patience and tolerance - of course, my older siblings called me spoilt! My opinion on the middle child syndrome is that if all three are the same gender then the middle one may feel just that - middle as in being average - whilst the eldest and youngest have an almost special status.
