A new study suggests that there might be scientific evidence supporting the concept of 'eldest daughter syndrome.' Research by a UCLA-led team found that first-born daughters may mature earlier due to prenatal stress experienced by mothers, leading to them assisting in caring for younger siblings. The study tracked families for 15 years, observing the effects of stress during pregnancy on children's maturation. Eldest daughters were found to mature faster in instances of high prenatal stress, potentially leading to later success and leadership roles. This finding contributes to the understanding of fetal programming and evolutionary perspectives on child development.
