Middle children are those who are born between the oldest and youngest siblings in a family. They often develop unique traits, as they may feel overshadowed by their older sibling's achievements and the attention given to the youngest. This position can lead them to become peacemakers, adaptable, and independent, as they learn to navigate family dynamics. Research suggests that middle children may be more likely to seek friendships outside the family, fostering social skills. They often value cooperation and compromise, which can make them effective team players in various settings, including school and work. Their experiences can shape their personalities in distinct ways.
