According to Adler's idea involving the order of birth, in which of the following ways is the first-born likely to react to the dethronement caused by the arrival of the second-born?
a. By developing a behavior problem
c. By trying to recapture their former position of privilege
b. By hating the new baby
d. All of these are correct.
ANS: D
FEEDBACK: No one could expect first-borns to suffer this kind of drastic displacement without putting up a fight. They will try to recapture their former position of power and privilege. For a time, first-borns may become stubborn, ill behaved, and destructive and may refuse to eat or go to bed. When first-borns are punished for their troublesome behavior, they see that as more proof of their fall and may come to hate the second child, who is, after all, the cause of the problem.
