The burden of being the favourite child A new study suggests those who are considered the ‘favourite’ child in the family pay a high price for their preferred status. Researchers from Purdue University in Indiana found that feeling a heightened obligation to please parents and being the target of sibling rivalry both take their toll: an increased risk of depression. The
0 weight of expectation that comes with being the favoured child can feel like conditional attention – the child believes it’s necessary to keep achieving
1 impossibly high standards in order to avoid falling out of favour. Growing up
as the star of the family often leaves these children with a 2 lifelon need to be the centre of attention and an expectation of unconditional love. In addition, when their 3 disrespectful siblings fail the family, they feel they have to compensate their parents for that by being even more responsible and mature. Psychologists recognise this behaviour as the Hero Child syndrome. The Hero Child works hard to help the family 4 succeed through being a conscientious student and hard worker.
