You Shouldn't Make Firstborns Overly Responsible For Siblings - Psychotherapist

"Parents, do not make your first-born children overly responsible for their younger siblings. They grow up too fast and their childhood is


compromised. The impact on their cognitive process is not healthy. A lot of first-borns grow up not knowing how to ask for help. It's sad.


Imagine having to wake every morning and


the burden of your entire family is on your


shoulders.


First-borns usually have to mature quickly. They are rarely pampered and this makes them have a high threshold for emotional distress.


If you're a first-born and have had to be either emotionally or financially responsible for your family from a tender age, I'm sending you warmth. You are seen. You deserve your flowers.


You're permitted to live life too. You're permitted to make mistakes" - Adedoyin Ajayi
