So there was a large-scale internet study published in 2022 that looked at over 32,000 individuals and it found that this treatment, this infantilization, actually was really, really harmful and led to a lot of resentment, but also led to a lack of confidence sometimes, specifically amongst people who were young as children or who had reported experiencing it, not just in childhood, but now as adults.

They like to put on the dance shows to be a bit ridiculous. I personally think this is also what makes them so social and really charming. You know, the reason why this may be the case is because the youngest child has had to battle to be noticed. You know, yes, they may be spoiled, but they are also sometimes the second, third, fourth, maybe even fifth child.

Everyone else has kind of already found their role. You know, the family may be at max capacity. So the youngest wants to find their space. They want to find their part. And that can lead to what we would call attention-seeking behavior. But I think it's, you know, deeper than that.

I think it's actually identity formation when you have someone who has already set the bar, when you have the eldest children. Also, just to throw this stereotype even further out the window, some research actually suggests that it's actually eldest or only children who typically want or demand more attention because they remember a time when they got it all.

So I don't think that this stereotype is entirely true. There you go. We debunked some of the common misconceptions about youngest children, but also kind of hopefully confirmed some of their wonderful traits, which is that they're fun, they're outgoing, they're entrepreneurial, they're risk takers.
