Have you ever wondered how birth order impacts your children or the way you parent?

This week on The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we discuss Birth Order with our Child Psychologist Expert Dr Deirdre Brandner.

Where you are in your family's birth order can have a fascinating effect on the person you are. The way you behave and react to others. Are you a driven or laid back person? Are you good at sharing or do you have an impatient personality? It may surprise you that this can sometimes be attributed to the place in the family you were born into; your birth order.

Understanding birth order can be useful as a parent. In this week's episode we discuss:

- The role birth order plays in relation to your child's personality

- Are there specific traits attributed to birth order i.e. first, second, third, fourth, last child

- Does having a large family affect the way a child develops

- Does being an only child affect the way a child develops

- Should parents be mindful of a child's birth position

- Are personality types formed by birth order - Does birth order matter or as parents should we try to be ‘equal' / treat all our children 'the same'

- What are the positives that children gain from birth order?

- What are the negatives that children face from birth order?

- How can parents adapt their parenting approach with the knowledge of birth order?
