Editorial Reviews
From the Author
While it may be comforting to find out that some of your less desirable characteristics were almost inevitable given your sex and birth order, it isn't helpful to blame your faults on that and give up trying to change. The point of knowing how those characteristics developed is to learn strategies for changing the ones you don't like.
Just because you were born as a youngest or oldest or an only, you do not have to keep on behaving like one; the traits are not written in stone.
From the Back Cover
Between each birth, the family undergoes a reshaping. The experiences of a first child or an only child are very different from those of a youngest child with three siblings.

This review is from: Birth Order & You: Discover how your sex and position in the family affects your personality, career, relationships, and parenting. (Self-Counsel Personal Self-Help) (Paperback)
This book certainly makes sense. It was true on all concepts of my being an oldest of 3 children. I would recommend this book to others interested in family units and how all contribute as a whole. Explains why some conflicts occur and gives one ideas to improve relationships.

Excellent,
This review is from: Birth Order & You: Discover how your sex and position in the family affects your personality, career, relationships, and parenting. (Self-Counsel Personal Self-Help) (Paperback)
I am writing a paper on birth order for Seminary. I had only read birth order books by Dr. Kevin Leman so I was pleased to find additional books written by other authors such as this one. It is a unique book, in that it provides specific information about youngest brothers, youngest sisters, oldest brothers, etc. Their chapter on the only child is excellent, since I am one, I was able to idenitfy with it quite well. It is well written. A fabulous resource for parents, teachers and introspective people who want to know why they are the way they are. A must read!For advice on parenting and birth order, try Birth Order Blues.
