The GEAR Parent Network is set to offer a no-cost online workshop, “Understanding Child Birth Order,” from 6-8 p.m. Monday, July 8.
This session is designed to help parents, caregivers and professionals understand the dynamics of birth order and its impact on child development and family interactions, according to a news release from the parent network.
During this workshop, participants can explore how a child’s position in the family can influence their personality, behavior and relationships. The session will cover the following key topics:
• The Role of Birth Order in Personality Development: Understanding how firstborns, middle children, last-borns and only children typically differ in traits and behaviors.
• Influence on Family Dynamics: Analyzing how birth order can affect sibling relationships, parental expectations and family roles.
• Practical Strategies for Parents and Caregivers: Providing tips and techniques to support each child’s unique needs and foster a harmonious family environment.
Shannan King, a nationally certified family support specialist and regional family support coordinator, plans to lead the workshop.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
