@dailymail: Second-born children, particularly boys, may be more likely to face behavioral challenges such as school suspensions and juvenile delinquency compared with their older siblings, according to new research. The findings, based on analysis led by MIT economist Joseph Doyle, suggest second-born children are significantly more likely to experience negative outcomes than first-borns. Researchers point to differences in parental attention and early role modeling as possible factors, though they stress outcomes vary widely between families. #study #Siblings #family #prison
