Sometimes being the sandwich has many advantages.
According to studies, middle children have a unique personality and characteristics that make them great and here we list why their characteristics make them great children.
They have less pressure than the firstborn
They do not have the full attention that the first-born and when a third arrives, they still have their own space.
They are the most independent
We tend to be extra careful with the first ones and when the third one comes home, he is again a baby that we must protect and wish they would not grow up like older siblings. But those in the middle have more freedom and have more relaxed parents.
They are great negotiators
Because they can be overshadowed by the demands of the elderly or the tantrums of the young, they learn the art of negotiating to achieve what they want.
They will be balanced adults
They were never the first-born egomaniacs or the helpless little ones, they learned to share, to be independent and to deal with conflicts from the first moment.
They are innovative
According to psychologist Schumann, middle children are more likely to make a change than any of the others. This is because the combination of risk taking and openness to experiment leads them to be willing to try new things.
They know how to listen
They are patient and have more empathy with the older and younger.
Potentially leaders
As history tells it, several famous presidents and leaders like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr. were middle children. They are commonly ambitious and fight for their dreams.
