Hallo Female - It is no secret that in the social environment express an unwritten rule about how birth order affects children's parents on their treatment.
A study says, a lot of parents in educating the first child are harder, positive results are statistically firstborn intelligence level is higher than the youngest child.
Still according to research involving 12,000 respondents in the United States, found 33.8 percent of mothers claimed their first child in the class smarter.
Then, the respondents also said that their treatment of the firstborn who get bad grades in school, it is somewhat harder than the youngest who scored poorly.
In addition, the study also reported, the middle child and youngest child has time to play and watch television for longer than their first child.
In another study, there is also evidence to claim that the first child's IQ is higher than the second child and so on.
"Actually, the level of intelligence and the intelligence of the child is not influenced by birth order, but rather to how parenting discipline applied to the parents of each child," said Joseph V. Host, Chair of Research.
Still according to Host, assertiveness naturally more focused on the parents first child. However, such an attitude is somewhat more lenient towards a second child, especially younger children. For parents, the youngest child who is forever always be a child in their eyes. No wonder the attitude of parents tend to be protective in younger children. As a result, generally, the youngest grow up to be less confident and spoiled.
The psychologists have reviewed and studied the relationship between birth order children to rate their success in academic and professional fields. As a result, the child's intelligence is not based on birth order, but rather the parents' attitudes and behavior towards their children.
At the same time, so many parents believe in stereotypes of birth order, and eventually formed the different parenting styles of each child. The first child is encouraged to be smart and accomplished, while the youngest tend to be protected and pampered.
