After working at the tuition centre, I've noticed one thing. Your position in the family DO affect how you usually act. I'll take 3 students of mine, all age 11, as an example. One the eldest in the family, one the youngest (older siblings all boys), and one the only child. Of course, the eldest kid is very responsible and the younger kids listen to her, even better than me actually. Yes, even those who are not her siblings. The youngest one and the only child are well, a bit spoiled. They don't like it when I scold them and they tend to pick fights with the younger children, not real fights obviously, more like war of words? The middle ones are a bit more neutral. But yeah, I've really come to respect those who are the eldest in the family (and I've to learn this from my students!). Hats off to all you eldest kids out there, yeah!
