Middle child syndrome

I am a middle child, and I don't usually do any of those things, though my younger sister and I don't really get along. My parents try to make up for giving my older and younger sisters more attention by giving me things or taking me places, but it really doesn't work that well. I really don't think there's any TRUE way to get RID of the Middle Child Syndrome, but it's worth trying, isn't it?

Its a normal reaction for every child to be jealous he is thinking that he will not love you anymore or we never know what runs into his mind that's why he wants to be the center of your attention. All you have to do is to talk to him & assure him that you will still love him. Make him involved in your activities like let him go with you when you will have your monthly check-up, ask his opinions in choosing a babies name, make him help you in choosing when you will buy baby clothes. Talk to him & make him understand what is the importance of becoming a big brother & his responsibility when the little baby will be arriving soon.

Hi mchavez11! I was reading your discussion and I can't deny that I'm smiling! Yes, I'm a middle child and have the same behavior of what your son's having now. I always was informed by my parents that they also love me and that they all love us equally. They also give me much of their attention. They give me everything i want too. But i have a feeling that it's not true. It's really a syndrome. I don't think you can have it change, I'm sorry about that.
