First Born Child
big_brother
The first born child is a powerful child because all of the attentions of our both parents are in the first born child. The first born child has a tendency to become an over achiever, but he also has a tendency to rebel, because parents are usually stricter with them, and they are the ones who are given more responsibilities.
I am a mom with two kids and when my husband is on vacation we often go out and have some relaxation just to unwind and enjoy the togetherness of a husband and wife, but when we are out in the house a call on the phone to my kids and call my elder son Patrick Lean, about what was happening back home. We don’t talk to the yaya or nanny, Patrick proudly beams, we talk to him and ask because he know what our eldest son can assess and handle a situation very well.

Though there is a tendency to assign a lot of responsibilities to the eldest child, at least until his siblings are old enough to share in these responsibilities. I advice to my co-parents to be mindful that we give our eldest child enough breathing space, we tend to forget that even though they maybe more responsible. Anyway they are still young. They also need to play. We have to keep in mind that they have their own maturation levels, (yung mas matanda) or what we call the older one. Even they reach the age of 7 or 10 years old they still have their own needs at this stage of development.
