Abstract

Birth order is one of the most extensive human experiences and is considered to determine how smart, good, responsible, sociable, emotionally stable, and open to new experiences. Therefore, parents assume the birth orderly child is always reliable and can open the way to help his younger siblings later which makes his role very necessary in the family. This study aims to analyze how the role of the birth orderly child in the family is to find the initial process of the birth orderly child to reach his role in the family. Using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) data analysis technique, this study involved 5 study participants with criteria for children in the first birth order. The results show that with the duties and responsibilities that were carried out early on, the recognition of roles and goals in achieving the well-being of the family made the birth orderly child able to proceed and make himself a role in the scope of the family.
