8．Being the youngest child has advantages and disadvantages．On the one hand，babies are spoiled and often get away with behavior that other family members can't．On the other hand，many youngest children feel that they never quite measure up to their more experienced and successful siblings．To borrow a phrase from a famous comedian，they get no respect．
Some parents look on their youngest child as their last chance to do everything right，so the youngest may feel great performance pressure，similar to a firstborn．Other parents will never allow their last child to be unhappy，ever．In most families，however，the parents have more experience and are more likely to give them more freedom on such issues as developmental milestones，toilet training，dating，and so on．They are more confident that things will work out for the best，and their relationship with their lastborn is less intense than that with the older children．
Having some distance in their relationship with their parents can give the lastborn freedom to explore new ideas and new places，but if it is too great，the youngest children may feel disconnected，as though they don't belong to the family．
Since lastborns are seldom the strongest or most capable during childhood，they often carve out a place for themselves by being clever and charming．Within the family，they know how to get along well with their siblings．They may become peacekeepers，but they're also able to cause much trouble when it serves their purposes．Playing the"baby card"also allows them to avoid punishment for wrongdoing，for example，breaking a sibling's toy．
Only with such a full understanding can you，as a parent，help your"baby"develop into a fully grown-up person．
