Would you rather be the younger sibling or the elder one?

This needs no explanation or write-up! Im sure everyone with bros or sisz, have thought atleast once at some point of time in their life... that I should've been the the younger one instead of being elder and vice versa....or just said to God someday ..."bahot na-insaafi hain yeh!" 😛

Im sure, both have their pros and cons and both have love-fight relationship amongst themselves as well.

What would be an ideal choice(if ever we had one!) ?

Study finds elder siblings are the brightest.
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
Published: 23 June 2007

".....Noel Gallagher would no doubt agree with a study showing that elder siblings really are more intelligent than their younger brothers or sisters.
An analysis of almost a quarter of a million teenagers found that first-born children have a noticeably higher IQ on average than their siblings.
Scientists believe that although the difference in IQ is small, it is still big enough to impart significant benefits to older brothers and sisters during the course of their life.
They also believe that the difference is not due to the birth order alone - caused for example by differences in nutrition in the womb - but rather it is due to the fact that older siblings experience a different childhood upbringing than their younger family members.
One theory is that elder siblings take on the role of unofficial tutors to their younger relatives which makes the elder child more mature and intelligent.
Sir Francis Galton, the 19th-century scientist and father of the eugenics movement, was the first person to seriously study the apparent superiority of first-born sons who, he had noticed, tended to be appointed to prominent positions in society.
In the early 1970s, Dutch scientists showed more scientifically that birth order is associated with higher intelligence, with first-borns tending to score better on IQ tests......"

Bingo.. Intelligence has so many components! I do believe that the younger siblings appear to be smarter in certain aspects since early ages, such as self-defense, grabbing attention and similar. This is because they are competeting right from their birth. Studies indicate them to also be more driven , since they have someone to look up to / compete with.

Another thing for sure - PARENTS of second kid are SMARTER than that of first kid 😆.. They take very few pictures of the second one though, no matter how cute it may be 😭😭😭.. But they understand the second child better

I would always want to be the second and the last child 😳. That's the best place in the family. I only support the studies indicating second kids are smarter 😉.. j/k

QT 😲 😲 😲 What you said about the pictures is very true 😆 😆 😆 Im the third and last child in the family, and there are the least pictures of me, while all along they have been decreasing from the first one.

I wouldn't trade my place as the baby of the family with anyone. Even if you might be getting blamed with everything wrong that happens, being the smallest is a privilige to get pampared by itself. Although, by the third child, parents do learn every trick in the book, so dont know how that works out 😆 😆 😆

In my opinion the second child in the family, is the most hardworking. They learn fast from the experiences of the first one, and do the same things much easierly, worrying less people. Whereas for the parents, everything the first kid does is a first ever, making every matter seem a gigantic event. When it's the second or thirds time, the magic of it fades maybe, because they've already experienced all the trauma and tantrums, leaving the other children to fend for themselves, which in turn lets them gain experience and learn from their own mistakes.

Wonderful Topic, once again, Sohn.

Thank you Subha Di 😊

I think sometimes, while bringing up their first kid, parents establish rules and then are really reluctant to change them with their second one. I would think, my parents wont lemme learn anything on my own ever! I felt over protected about unnecessary stuff at times as well. I felt the need to justify myself for every new path I wanted to choose, which wasn't treaded by my brother, whereas they always would allow him to do it if he wished to😔

When I lost my bro a few years ago, I saw a drastic change in the behaviour of my parents. Maybe cus suddenly I was the only child, technically elder and the younger one as well.

mm Now I feel, as far as pampering goes, younger one is pampered to glory, no two ways about that. Certain things are handed over to you on a silver platter if you want them that way. But I feel, when it comes to taking that first step towards independance, think its a tough battle being the younger one, cus you never really grow up in their eyes 😕
