The youngest or the “baby of the family”

He’s lucky the youngest! The elders have roamed the field and the education of parents – less patient than for the first – has often been slack. But if the latter are more tolerant, they can also be more difficult to impress. The youngest child certainly does not receive all the recognition expected for his first drawing or his first good grades at school …

In addition, a little lazy, he gets used to going with the flow and therefore takes few decisions Judge Michael Grose. In his defense, he is not very encouraged to take charge, for fear of being teased or even belittled by his brothers and sisters … He ends up finding his account all the same by playing the art of dodging responsibilities , like setting the table.

Foolproof perseverance

When he wants something, he gets it. By what means ? His talents «Charmer» and “Manipulator” says Michael Grose. All it takes is a pinch of mischievous air, another of vulnerability, all while feigning incompetence. Result, an adult or a senior comes to his aid!

He is criticized for being irresponsible, but yet his parents and his brothers and sisters sometimes have difficulty seeing – or doing! – grow up the little bit of cabbage… and are therefore at fault. “I asked Jeanne to help, much less than her three sisters at her age. It is only today, when she is 15 years old, that I realize that she is struggling to take care of herself. “ says Florence, mother of three daughters, including Jeanne, the “youngest”.

Alors “Destined to stay small, it’s up to the youngest to prove the contrary. Which is often a driving force for his life ” notes Françoise Peille.
