August 12 Middle Child Day

On August 12 Each year Middle Child Day is observed across the United States. This day gives special recognition to the middle child/children in the family.
While the first born is always considered something special, the youngest one will always be considered as the baby of the family, the middle child... well it gets the Middle Child Syndrome. Which means the middle child doesn't yet have the status of the oldest but also isn't the baby anymore. The Middle Child's Day was created to show some appreciation to children in this unfavorable position.

Some studies have shown that in a family with multiple children, the oldest and the youngest get the most attention from their parents while those in between tend to be left by themselves, often ignored and forgotten. Middle children have to often fight for attention of their parents and may sometimes feel like they do not belong to the family.
Now today where you get some attention and love, at the expense of your other siblings. Parents should try to get some attention to those kids.
