Hello Dr. Thanks for the abilty to ask questions!

My husband and I are firstborns. We have 3 children. Our 1st born struggles in school and now at age 20 and excelling in the ranks of retail management she has decided to take the next semester off from school. We are upset she is not going to school this semester. How hard do we push for her to continue? I love, love, love the birth-order book! It was instrumental in helping me see how I, as a only child with my own personality quirks, was impacting my perfectionist first-born daughter.

I have recommended the birth-order book to every mom I know—incredibly eye opening. I also find it very helpful from a work perspective—as a manager of a team, it has helped me understand how to best approach each team member. So Dr. Leman, I love learning about birth order, but with my large blended family it can get pretty confusing. First marriage I have 6, girl, boy, twin girls, boy, girl. Second marriage adopted 12 year old son and had girl. I guess my biggest question would be for my adopted son of my second marriage.

He inherited tons of siblings poor thing when his daddy married me. Sometimes I have a very hard time figuring him out. He is eighteen now and sometimes my wild child. His younger sister is 6. I sure would love to figure him out without going crazy. By the way, I was an only child. Hi Dr. Leman, Thank you so much for these insights. We struggle with the birth order dynamics due to the complexity of our family. See, our first-born is 3rd in age order.

Our 2nd born is the baby. She lived with her biological family for 6 years before coming to us. However, she is not a typical middle child, as she is mentally retarded and has a chromosomal thing which makes her small. Hence, her sisters took care of her, even though one was younger. She is extremely behavioral when asked to make an EFFORT on tasks to be self-reliant or try to improve behavior, academics, physical strength, or anything, really. She was removed from her biological sisters, on whom she was so reliant that to this day when they visit, they sleep pretty much on top of each other and all go to the bathroom together then moved around several times before coming here and staying permanently.

She immensely struggles with self-identity. As the oldest 10 , we try to reinforce responsibility, but it has taken years to help her have ANY sense of responsibility for even herself, let alone for being helpful with family issues. Our second oldest is a 2nd-born also 9. She has RAD, of course, and sensory disorders and cognitive disorders and delays. She was our first child ever, though she was removed and placed in a neglectful foster home before returning to us.

When she first arrived, I had to be authoritarian for her as she was unable to function otherwise. Her problem-solving skills are about nil. She prefers to sit and color quietly on her own, or interact with an adult whom she hopes she can control.

Only then did she begin to reciprocate and look at and acknowledge the baby. She was content to let the younger, first-born lead and have the lime-light…until we adopted the older girl. Our third in age, is our first-born biological 6. And she is ALL first-born. Very independent at an early age. Strong-willed, self-confident, intelligent beyond her years, a great problem-solver, leader sometimes aggressively so , jack of all trades, attention-seeker.

The 6 yr old biologically first-born to us is in no uncertain terms, the leader. The possibility that birth order influences romantic compatibility has long intrigued the lay public. In the absence of empirical research a marital advise literature has emerged, based on the … Expand.
