Are you organised and analytical, a leader, high achiever and a perfectionist? Do you write lists, take initiative, and take on tasks because “no-one else can do it properly”?

If so, you’re probably a “firstborn”... And according to psychologist Dr Kevin Leman, you can be a firstborn even if you weren’t the eldest child in your family...

Intrigued?... Kevin’s the author of The Birth Order Book, and his latest offering is a book called The Firstborn Advantage.... He spoke to us on Open House this week, sharing some fascinating facts on the common traits of a firstborn, and great advice on how they can make the most of their strenghts, and overcome their weaknesses.
