Sibling Birth Order

This paper studies the Impact of childrens’s family position or birth order on his personality, intellectual behavior, development, self-image and parental attitudes.

The purpose of this research is to discuss sibling birth order, its effect on personality, and normal and abnormal and intellectual behavior.

Birth order is the position into which a child is born within the framework of a specific family. Birth order influences how one copes with people and society, on an individual and on a group basis.

Studies and experiments tend to prove that birth order, or ordinal position in a family, is useful in gaining insights into human behavior and patterns of behavior. The birth order factor is also useful for teachers and counselors dealing with adolescents, particularly in a classroom situation since birth order and sibling interaction also effects motivation, achievement, social skills, career choice and life style.
