They tend to relate well with adults, assume social responsibility, and develop socially appropriate forms of coping. Second Child of only two – will typically pursue an opposite position than the first child.

Middle Child – they are the ones who may feel “squeezed” between the others. Many feel like they do not have a clear or unique role to play in the family. They may be more independent, sensitive, or even rebellious, and some may directly ask parents for reassurance of their love. Youngest Child – “the baby of the family” they tend to enjoy being the center of attention. If the parents emphasize achievement, they may become the hardest ALFRED ADLER working of all to prove their place and ultimate worth. Only child – they are much like older children except that they are never dethroned and generally do not have the pressure of close competitor. PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE TAKE AWAY FROM ALFRED ADLER "Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations."
