together in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities.Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you.

They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first–born American presidents than second or lastborn children—for example, George W. Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson.When a second child arrives, parents are not so excited. The second child has to pete with the first–born for the parents’ attention and love.
