Summary and response. In the essay, “How your birth order influences your life adjustment”, author Lucille Forer points out the role that a child plays within its family group, and how its birth order determines the adjustment to its reality. Forer explains that family members have diverse expectations towards the identity and attitudes of a child; and how each child reacts to certain situations depending on how he might think of himself or how capable he might think he is because of the effects that its birth order has on its personality and behavior.
