Birth order : what your position in the family really tells you about your character
(Book)

Originally published: 2011.

Reveals how one's birth order position, the spacing between siblings, and the sex of siblings impact one's childhood, adult life, and relationships. Helps readers understand themselves and their family, shedding light on the dynamics of their other relationships, explaining why they may repeat patterns within relationships, and suggesting helpful strategies for dealing with other people. Chapters cover birth order and what being the eldest, middle, or youngest child reveals about the reader; the effect of large or small age gaps between siblings; family size; the sex of siblings; parental attitudes to each child; the effects of being an only child or being a twin; the impact of stepsiblings; and much more.
