How to Plan Your Family Using Birth Order


                   

Birth order affects all aspects of your life. It starts 
with the very beginning of life…..Birth

In today’s society you can plan your births or adoptions 
and in so doing structure your family in a variety of 
ways. The birth number and spacing between siblings 
will affect their personalities. Using Birth Order can let 
you know what the future holds before you add a birth
to your family or adopt a child.
       

The First Born
The first child starts life as an Only child.  As parents, 
the two of you can hover over this child and address his
every need. He can become very adult like or very 
spoiled as he or she gets anything and everything they 
want. We see them in the characters they played as
the children in Willy Wonka and he Chocolate Factory. 
Charlie was adult like, the others spoiled. This child
loses his exalted status with the addition of the next 
child; sometimes a very difficult transition. 
      
  
Spacing the Second Sibling
Your next decision in adding to your family is to decide
on the spacing of the Second sibling. If you wait less 
than 4 years you will be building a family of interacting
children. Each successive sibling interacts with the 
others for a group of children each playing their own 
birth order role within the family.      
  

The Interactive Family
With less than 4 years between births you get an  
interactive family. You have the bossy #1 telling the 
others what to do. The number 2 that doesn't want to 
be told what to do. The number 3 that stirs the pot 
but stays outside the sibling rivalry of the first two, 
and number 4, the baby that everyone ignores so 
has to be loud just to be noticed. Each child can 
help the younger one through the process of toilet 
training an d school. Everyone has their role to play 
in the family.          
 
Spacing 4 or more years                                     
You do have a second choice. Space your children 
four or more years apart. Because of this spacing, 
you add the Only birth order to these children. This 
happens because this child spends time at home 
alone with a parent while the older sibling is at school. 
You might have decided to do this so you could focus
your attention on each child and not be overwhelmed 
during those developmental years...one through four..
that take so much hands on attention.

  
The Affect of a Double Birth Order
For those that space their children 4 or more years
apart, they add the Only birth order to each of their
birth numbers. This gives these children 10 times 
the power of a single birth order child. You end up 
with individual families of one child each. They do 
not interact like the closely spaced family but each 
child does have a birth order that the Only birth 
order amplifies, magnifies, and intensifies his birth 
order characteristics.              

   
Examples of these Double birth orders are
1/0  Sylvester Stallone,  Oprah, Barack Obama
        Bill Clinton
2/0  David Letterman, Ellen DeGeneres, 
        Britney Spears
3/0 Suzanne Somers, Alfred Hitchcock, Dr. Phil                                    
4/0 Jodie Foster, Don Knotts, Billy Carter
       Mitt Romney 

Whichever plan you chose you can now know what     
 to expect with multiple children in your family.

Like your Fingerprint: Your birth order is who 
you really are.
