I am presenting a topic for discussion on Birth Order and Easy Infant / Difficult Infant and the effects on parenting for an online human development college course. In my case my brother was the 1st born and a difficult baby, I was born 5 years later and an easy baby. Due to my brother being so much work when I was born my parents just kicked back, not giving me technical attention. I am interested in any research in this area.
