Birth Order

Does where you come in your family matter?

Birth Orders have always fascinated me and my drive to learn more was heightened when I picked up Dr. Leman's first birth order book. I wanted to know more and understand why I was so "mixed up." I have just loved learning and applying this knowledge in my home. It has really opened my eyes as to how I treat my children and my husband. It has also let me understand the sibling relationships I have with my wonderful family.
