The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are (by Kevin Leman)

"The Birth Order Book" by Kevin Leman explores how a child's position among siblings—firstborn, middle, youngest, or only child—shapes their personality, behavior, and relationships. Leman suggests that each birth order comes with typical traits: firstborns tend to be responsible and organized, middle children are negotiators and adaptable, youngest kids are often charming and ambitious, and only children may be mature and self-reliant. The book offers insights into these patterns, helping parents and individuals understand themselves and others better, fostering healthier family dynamics and personal growth.
