1. 二寶的溝通能力與談判技巧更高強
As Catherine Salmon, Ph.D., a coauthor of The Secret Power of Middle Children, told Real Simple, second children—especially when they become middle children—excel at compromising and negotiating.
2. 二寶是交朋友高手
Salmon also said second-borns tend to be more in the “social butterfly” department, as their parents’ attention is often diverted by older or younger siblings.
3. 二寶的抗壓能力更高
When you’re born into a family that’s already occupied with a first child, the second baby must quickly learn how to cope. Michael Grouse, author of Why First Borns Rule the World and Last Borns Want to Change It, said that results in excellent resiliency traits among second-born children. As he said, “They learn early on that life doesn’t always go their way.”
4. 專家建議父母要給二寶更多鼓勵，也不要讓大寶奪取二寶的成績或注意力
What happens when you have an older sibling running, talking and showing off? You want to catch up as fast as possible. Meri Wallace, LCSW, said for Psychology Today that second-born children may get a bit frustrated by these early “failures,” but parents can help by praising them all the same.
