[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:11  Almost everyone I know has a well adjusted second child and a 1st child who has more difficulties.  If not it is because they had a lot of experience with children before having their own, had a super well adjusted child regardless of what they did, or had a special needs child second. [b] It is often written that 2nd children are better adjusted, better at sports, and do better in school.  [/b]I think this has a lot to do with parents always being a little behind the curve with the 1st and the 1st having to pave the way by him or herself with fewer opportunities to see what lays just ahead for them.  I competely agree that my second child could do well anywhere and my 1st needs most of my attention but this is partly because I can handle the second child much better from experience with the first.  Think of it as a compliment verses resenting your sibling.  I'm guessing your parent's choices didn't mean you couldn't ask for help when you needed it.[/quote]

Got a reference or two for this? [/quote]

+1.  This anecdotal evidence flies in the face of a lot of research on birth order.[/quote]
