Why oldest children are more successful

Not only who your parents are and where your crib is determines who you become, but also the order of being born shapes you. Are you always the youngest in a group or have you been the only child in a family for a long time? The one everyone is looking at or that cute little one crawling in the corner while your parents are doing a hundred other things?

Older children are more successful
Of course, there have been hundreds of studies on the psychological effects of this, and what overall appears is that oldest children are more successful, responsible, organized, and self-confident.

Quite logical. They always had an audience for every step they took. Everyone looked at them and encouraged them, which made them self-confident. Moreover, then came a child that was lagging behind in development compared to them, so you feel yourself growing even more. You are organized because there is no one else to arrange things for you, and family-oriented because there isn't much more in your environment than you and your parents.

Younger children are funnier
The chance that as the youngest child you will catch up with your older siblings cognitively is small. Therefore, you have to draw a different card to get attention. Being funny and being the class clown is a proven method. Furthermore, you are adventurous because there is always someone around who takes you along, and you are also calmly contrary to your elder. There are always so many caregivers around you that you don't feel very dependent on one person, so you dare to push back a little. You are creative (many artists are the youngest born) and flexible. The world, unlike that of your older siblings, is not shaped around you. You were often the last to be picked up and put in a car, not knowing where you would go and fully trusting that it would all be fun and pleasant.

You are a bit less organized because you secretly assume that there is always someone who has arranged or solved things for you.

Science says: the second in the family is the hardest.
You recognize this if you are the youngest at home in a house full of girls.
