The genes and the social environment in which we grow form a good part of our personality, also the place that each child occupies in the family collaborates in their way of being, as can happen with the firstborn, children who have been children for a time Only being natural leaders, when they have a little brother, their role changes and with it, they can change, to a greater or lesser extent, their way of being.
Children expect to satisfy parents, consciously or unconsciously they feel responsible for maintaining family well-being. When a little brother arrives, his safety and responsibility can falter, feeling replaced leaving the child of the house, can lead to an inferiority complex and it is the parents who have to take the situation properly, which does not It means it's easy. We have already spoken on some occasions of how good it is for the firstborn to collaborate in the work of his little brother, but this does not imply that we are responsible for it. That is greater, does not deserve to increase the level of demand, you should not stop being aware that you are still a child, so you also have to enhance the positive aspects of your personality, an action that sometimes goes to progress of the minor.
The older brother who feels responsible for the care of his brother, may be too demanding with him, many times we will witness our education reflected in our eldest son, who in the same way he was educated will transmit the teaching to the little one.
You have to teach from flexibility, channel perfectionism and show that mistakes have a solution, and that they will never interfere in love and family harmony.
