There is a new e book out by the Getting To Know Yourself authors that digs deep into those questions and answers them in a way that most people can easily understand. It is their contention that adults who grew up with siblings were, as children, treated and raised in certain ways that influenced the child’s behavior and attitudes to such a point that the child took those attitudes and behaviors with him or her as they went into adulthood.
This makes good sense. We all know of families where the first born was treated in a way that may not have been repeated with the last born child. Conversely, the last born of the family may have been treated in a manner that did not repeat itself with those children who were born in the middle. All of these various scenarios, and no one scenario fits all families, would have resulted in a birth order personality that fit that particular child.
By understanding which birth order personality we have, we can begin to explore how it affects us in our daily lives, and how we can make adjustments in order to better live our lives. This can go a long way in improving our relationships with others as well. The way we interact with other people is directly related to how we were brought up and how we were taught to interact with other people. It all goes back to those childhood days and, ultimately, to where we were born in the line of siblings.
The e book WHO AM I? also attempts to show us how best to deal with these issues so that we can feel better about ourselves in general, and how we can perform better in society and at home.
Let’s face it, if you were the first born in your clan and you were laden with heavy responsibilities and were taught at an early age to be independent and self-reliant, there is a good chance you might be a bit overbearing today as an adult. That overbearing attitude, while useful as a child helping to rear siblings, may not be as useful today when you are dealing with other adults.
If you were the pampered baby of the family, you may have attributes of that with you today, which, not surprisingly, may annoy or even offend many people in your life circle.
The revolutionary and informative book WHO AM I? can help you figure all of this out and offer suggestions and advice on how to best deal with whatever birth order personality you may have. You can visit them at and see if this publication can help you, too!
