The Adlerian theory is a comprehensive approach to psychology that emphasizes the importance of overcoming feelings of inferiority. Alfred Adlers birth order theory, consist of three key observations that must be made. The position of the child in the family, the family's circumstances & the characteristics developed because of those dynamics. General expectations through the lenses of Alfred Adler.
Only Child: Can be spoiled which could lead to wanting to be the center of attention.
Oldest Child: Takes on a strict approach and often requires encouragement to be helpful.
The youngest often sees each sibling as a “Mother” “Father” figure and is always told what to do, when to do it etc. They often want to rush into adulthood and arrange big plans that may never come true. (According to the Adlerian Theory)
The Middle Child: The oldest receives responsibility and the youngest is spoiled, which can make the middle child seem as if he gets no attention at all. This will cause the child to develop a black and white attitude. They fight for significance but also tend to feel very lonely.
Twin: according to Adler, one twin is usually stronger than the other. One twin becomes the leader, and the other twin becomes the follower.
Ghost Child: Some children are born into families where the first-born child was lost. This causes the parents to be overprotective over all the children especially the first born. The children will then rebel and exploit their parents' behavior for personal gain.
Adopted Child; The adopted child usually receives the same attention that an only child receives. The parents try to replace the absent parents. This causes the child to lack confidence, become demanding and even hate the parents eventually.
"To sit back and analyze from an un bias approach, is to rationalize one's perspective."

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)
