Anyway the lists I've seen are a little different. I only have one 16mo old w one on the way so can't say 😃 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-order-and-personality-for-your-kids#post-2274713 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:41:24 +0000 lamariniere 2274713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far it describes my 2 really well! The same could be said for my brother and I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-order-and-personality-for-your-kids#post-2274673 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:24:50 +0000 Raindrop 2274673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always found birth order to be interesting and so a friend sent me this not to long ago.</p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/birth-order-personality-study_55ad053ce4b0caf721b32fac" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/birth-order-personality-study_55ad053ce4b0caf721b32fac</a></p> <p>It basically says that every child is different (duh!) and so different children need different ways of parenting. Most parents figure out what works best for their first child and use that same parenting style with their other kids which may be the reason for the birth order personalities. Well something along these lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-order-and-personality-for-your-kids#post-2274540 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 11:34:42 +0000 T-Mom 2274540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids fit this to a T. It becomes more and more clear as they get older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-order-and-personality-for-your-kids#post-2274528 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 11:24:34 +0000 travellingbee 2274528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First born is controlling and competitive. He is NOT cautious or structured. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-order-and-personality-for-your-kids#post-2274520 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 11:14:07 +0000 Mrs Panda 2274520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first born traits describe my first born exactly. My second is still young - 1.5 - so I'm not totally sure yet. But so far she seems an awful lot like her sister... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birth-order-and-personality-for-your-kids#post-2274509 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 10:56:10 +0000 mrbee 2274509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just looking up the stereotypes of birth order and personality, to see if they apply to my own kids!</p> <p>&lt;&lt; Firstborns often tend to be: reliable, conscientious, structured, cautious, controlling, achievers.</p> <p>Middle children tend to possess the following characteristics: people-pleasers, somewhat rebellious,<br /> thrive on friendships, have large social circle, peacemaker</p> <p>The baby of the family tends to be: fun-loving, uncomplicated, manipulative, outgoing, attention-seeker, self-centered</p> <p>Only children tend to be: mature for their age, perfectionists, conscientious, diligent, leaders &gt;&gt;</p> <p><a href="http://www.parents.com/baby/development/social/birth-order-and-personality/" rel="nofollow">http://www.parents.com/baby/development/social/birth-order-and-personality/</a></p> <p>I don't think the first-born personality applies to my eldest, but the last-born personality fits pretty well for my youngest! Except she doesn't really look for attention... she's just a honey badger and does whatever she wants!</p> <p>Do the birth order personalities tend to hold true for your kids? </p>
