There are different variables that shape and mould our complex personalities and behaviours. It views that the world of a first-born child is far different to that of a second, third or last-born, and even worlds apart from that of an only child. Even though these findings are not carved in stone they are generally common researchers have observed that where an individual is placed in his family structure has influence in the type of relationships both romantic and friendships he or she will seek to have in his adulthood. Different psychologists have over many years done work that attempt to explain birth order personality. One of the experts working diligently on birth order is psychologist and executive coach Dr Maynard Brusman. He says first-borns often grow up with perfectionist tendencies and always strive for approval and success in the adult world. Many times the eldest child is dealt more responsibility at a younger age, like taking care of the younger children. Learning responsibility earlier can give the eldest child the advantage of learning time management and acquiring more advanced cognitive abilities earlier, leading to the common 'over achiever' status. The second child usually doesn’t get as much attention as the elder one parents devoted to the elder one, so they would often look outside of the family for their growth. By the time the last–born arrives parents have loosened up and will indulge the child. They may grow up seeking attention and may even be manipulative.
