It's interesting to know all the research that goes into creating children's programming. It's comforting anyhow. The repetition factor makes total sense. Now I know why my son can watch the same movie over and over. It's interesting but the older he gets, the less this happens. I guess they don't need as much affirmation. I too don't put too much emphasis on birth order myth.

Just like any other book, its best to read it with an open mind. Imho, its a nice read. re: birth order myth..im also not a fan of this. Its a fact that there are so many factors that shapes the character of a person other than his/her position in the birth order relative to his/her siblings. Its quite unscientific and people who usually believes on this myth or any other myths are more or less the same group of people who are fond of astrology and palm reading. this book tackled social epidemic issues where the author i guess is oftentimes right with few exceptions.
