    Experts believe that whether someone takes risks depends on their upbringing and birth order. Parents are often more protective of their first child, so firstborns tend to grow up taking fewer risks and being more cautious. Younger siblings are more likely to take risks as parents become more relaxed. Children are also more accident-prone than adults because their brains and bodies develop at different rates during childhood and adolescence, leading to coordination issues.
