About this title

Synopsis

Outlines the traits of firstborn children and explains how they can overcome debilitating perfectionism, overwork, and depression and improve relationships

From the Inside Flap

n in every family has unmistakable traits that help him or her in life--or make life harder.  If you're married to one, you know that a firstborn can be relied on... or can be a real nitpicker.  If you work with one, you know they can be tough taskmasters. And if you are one, you know that everybody always expects you to do everything. Perfectly. Now you can learn how to:

Alter destructive family patterns, let go of sibling rivalry, succeed in your career by overcoming your need to do everyone's job for them, and sidestep the snares of parenting a firstborn with wit and warmth.

Dr. Kevin Leman, best-selling author and authority on birth order, shows us the significance of being firstborn in every aspect of our lives and helps us deal with the pressures and privileges of Growing Up Firstborn.
