Children born into the same family can experience the family dynamics in different ways, being sensitive to varying factors. For instance, one child may appreciate a fiery parent, while another might cower in fear. One child may appreciate, even flourish in, time alone, while another might crave togetherness. Children are also born into families at different points in time, and thus have contrary experiences. For instance, the first child may be born when the parents are just starting out, learning how to take care of a little one and perhaps struggling financially. By the time that another child is born parents are more settled emotionally and financially. The family has the same parents, but the children have different stories.
