Middle Child

The term "middle child" refers to a person who is born between their older and younger siblings in a family. In family dynamics, middle children are often thought to develop distinct social and personality traits due to their birth order. They may become peacemakers or negotiators, as they often mediate between their older and younger siblings. Psychologically, middle children might feel overlooked compared to their siblings, which can influence their desire for independence and adaptability. However, experiences vary widely, and not every middle child fits this stereotype.
