Psychologist explains the hidden cost of being the ‘responsible’ eldest daughter and how parents can help
Times of India — Astrology & Spirituality · 11 Aug 2026, 3:41 pm
Eldest daughters often assume adult roles, becoming parentified children within families. This dynamic can lead to children carrying family burdens and emotional well-being responsibilities. While some develop coping skills, others face emotional and behavioral difficulties. Parents should assign age-appropriate responsibilities and avoid making children responsible for their emotions. Children need nurturing and permission to remain children, not just be useful.
