First Born Children Really Are Better #Science

If you’re the oldest child in your family, congratulations, smarty pants! According to a study published in the Journal of Human Resources, firstborn children typically score higher on IQ tests. They say it could be due to how parents treat subsequent children. The study found that parents were less likely to take part in mentally stimulating activities with their younger children, meaning those kids may not develop the same thinking skills as the older sibling.
