FirstbornBirth order affects the emotional development of a child, especially on the personality of the firstborn. The firstborn experiences a strong emotional bond with his or her parents and is always the center of attention until the next child is delivered. Frequent interactions between parents and child ensure that the child receives appropriate care. Indeed, the firstborn masters several languages ​​from a very young age because he is exposed almost exclusively to adult language according to Robert Zajonc (quoted in Dvorsky, G., 2013). In addition, parents have high expectations of the firstborn and are highly engaged in his activity (Rathus, Spencer. A., 2006). There is no doubt that the firstborn is seen as the ambitious 'winner' of the family, with continued encouragement from parents (Healey and Ellis, 2007; Plowman 2005; Sulloway 2001 cited in Sulloway, FJ, 2007). The firstborn who is believed to be responsible wants to please parents and teachers by accomplishing everything he is asked to do. Sometimes the firstborn has difficulty rejecting the tasks assigned to him, even if he is overloaded. Successfully completing assigned tasks also builds the firstborn's self-confidence. On the other hand, the desire to achieve goals can cause some firstborns to experience depression and a fear of failure if parents set higher standards ("Does Birth Order Really Matter?", 2007). ). This phenomenon causes the firstborn to refuse to take risks or new chances. Additionally, the firstborn is a natural leader, caregiver, and role model for siblings (Sulloway, FJ, 2007). The firstborn plays the role of surrogate parents, so it is common for them to care for their younger siblings. ......middle of paper ......e rural average. The physical growth and development of young children living in slums is stunted because they are deprived of adequate nutrition and health care. Children from slums are often abandoned or orphaned, so they experience a difficult and harsh childhood compared to children from normal families. Many young children work in the slums and some are manipulated into becoming child beggars. In India, work can limit a child's chances of accessing education, particularly for girls, whose educational attainment is a recognized determinant of child survival and health. (Am J. Public Health, 2007) Child labor interrupts a child's education and cognitive development because it prevents them from developing necessary cognitive skills. Work can also impact a child's social development because they are involved in work instead of interacting with peers through social play..
