Middle siblings are those who are born between the oldest and youngest siblings in a family. They often experience a unique position, as they may feel overshadowed by their older siblings and protective of their younger ones. This can lead to a sense of independence and adaptability, as they learn to navigate their role within the family dynamics. Research suggests that middle siblings may develop strong negotiation skills and a cooperative nature due to their experiences. They often become peacemakers, balancing the needs and desires of both older and younger siblings. This role can foster resilience and creativity in problem-solving.
