How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? How are siblings affected by birth order? Position in the family that is, whether a child is born first, second, or later-creates distinct experiences for children. First- born children experience a period during which they reign supreme in the eyes of their parents only to be displaced by the birth of a younger sibling with whom they must share their parents' affection. "Only"children enjoy the parents' exclusive attention forever. The lives of later-born children are filled with the doings and demands of other children from the day they are born. Not surprisingly, researchers have discovered differences among children depending on their birth order. Firstborn children are generally more adult oriented, helpful, and self-controlled than their siblings, and they tend to be more studious and conscientious (Herrera et al., 2003; Zajonc & Mullally, 1997). Indeed, firstborns are overrepresented in Who's Who and among Rhodes scholars. Firstborn sons tend to be conservative and like to maintain the status quo, perhaps because of the expectations and demands their parents place on them; second-born sons are more likely to support change and innovation (Sulloway, 1995).
