Astfel, potrivit unui studiu recent, al doilea copil al familiei are toate sansele sa fie mai nazdravan decat primul nascut. Cercetarea spune ca exista mai multe sanse ca al doilea nascut sa fie mai obraznic decat primul copil. De exemplu, la primul copil parintii isi concentreza toata atentia asupra lui, in timp ce la aparitia celui de-al doilea, lucrurile se schimba, parintii devin un pic mai relaxati. Astfel, parintii nu vor mai fi la del de stricti ca in cazul primului copil, pentru ca au capatat experienta mai multa. De asemenea, cel de-al doilea nascut poate sa se afle adesea intr-o rivalitate cu primul nascut, pentru a capta atentia parintilor.
