Overview
About the event
Let�??s face it, being the middle child certainly has its disadvantages, right? The middle child has at least one older sibling, who gets to do everything first, who the middle child somehow has to live up to.
But there is also at least one younger sibling, who gets all of the attention for being so cute and little. And there left is the middle child, struggling to find themselves without a clearly defined role.
While the complaints and experiences of middle children might be brushed off, it�??s actually important that they are taken a bit more seriously.
In fact, �??Middle Child Syndrome�?? is a recognized concept and studies about birth order in recent years show that it is believed to have an impact upon various personality traits.
Certain middle children might identify with some of these experiences: As the middle child, you�??re not the leader, so you aren�??t able to have things your own way.
You�??re also no longer the baby of the family, so you aren�??t as protected. And you�??re certainly not excused for bad behavior. It might seem like nothing ever really goes your way!
Well, not today, middle child friends! National Middle Child Day provides a well-deserved day to celebrate those special children who were neither the first-born or the last-born.
