This means the psychological state of the children born in the middle, that the parents' attention is in the first and the youngest, often in an unwanted situation, or is ignored or alienated. Because the first and the youngest are marginalized, the second comes to the view that they can look at other brothers negatively, feel jealous, have low self-esteem, and become introspective.
However, this argument is controversial. Secondly, there is a statistically insufficient basis for this psychological state, or the influence of birth order is not so important. Let's look at the second child syndrome.

A very short saying "I love you" can be very meaningful to a child. When I say "I love you" frequently, the child naturally responds to his / her problem and can appreciate his parents. Especially when pointing out that a child has acted erroneously, parents should always be able to remind their children that they are not angry and always love them. This is quite possible with the words "I love you".

The best way to open your child's heart is to spend time together. Being active and active with your child while enjoying sports, shopping, or playing time allows you to feel happy when your child is with your parents.
Activities do not have to be physically active and dynamic. It can be helpful to have a quiet look at a child's temperament, to cook, to cook, or to just eat and eat together without doing anything.
If you are a child of some age, you can have a hobby for that generation, such as video games, board games, indoor sports, and cycling. Or you can eat out or watch a movie. All of this is a very important solution that needs to be exploited to break down the busy schedule of parents.
3. Teaching Core Values and Spirituality
Teaching important core values and spirituality in life not only strengthens the child as he grows up, but also holds the values taught by his parents always in his heart. This is helpful for all family members. Parents should talk to their child and teach them their childhood experience, their lessons learned, their core values, and ask questions and frank discussions.
4. Let your child help parents
Many children consider the most fulfilling and happy time when they do something for their parents with their own strength. Parents who have become adults sometimes can not solve them by themselves. At this time, it is a good idea to ask for counseling and counseling of the problems that parents face boldly. Even young children can help their parents. For example, telling a child to help with housework that he can not do alone, or asking for opinions in difficult situations.
5. Eating together
It is not only physical health but also mental health that all the families gather and eat food together at meal time. This is because it is an opportunity to peek into the daily life of the family beyond their meals and to listen to their stories. But the important thing is that you have to communicate face to face while you are not enjoying smart phones or games during meals.
6. Respect your child's choice
You should show respect for what your child has chosen for herself in her life. Parents should give their support, such as giving guidance or guidance to help them. It is forbidden to try to control the child in this process. You should not ignore your parents 'unwanted outfits if they adhere to them, and respect your parents' unwanted hobbies.
That does not mean that you have to praise your child's decision. You just have to respect your children and give them support in their own decision making so that they can develop their own decision-making skills and move on independently. In addition, even if your child tries to fail in something, you should be able to recognize that you will always be there to support and support your child.
7. The priority of life is 'children'
Every parent recognizes their child as very important in their lives. However, if parents do not approach and communicate first, they do not know what is happening in the lives of their loved ones. In any case, no matter how busy you are, your child should always be the most important part of the parent's time. If the time with your child is always special and you want your child to feel the same, the relationship between the parent and the child can be successfully maintained. The most important thing is to have them next to them when they need them.
