I= Interviewer, K = Kate
I: My guest today is the psychotherapist. Kate Holt, and I'm going to be asking
Kate about personality Kate, what I've never understood is how brothers and
sisters can be so different. Surely, if siblings have the same upbringing you'd
expect them to be similar in personality?
K: Well, this is why some people are convinced their children are born with
different characters already in place. Either that, or they must be under the sway
of external influences such as school or friends. But you have to remember .hat
no two children are ever going to be brought up in exactly the same way. Things
change radically between the births of different children - a new child may be a
much anticipated event or a big upheaval, and at different stages of their lives,
parents may he more or less financially secure, emotionally content or
whatever. My own view is that at the time of each birth, parents are in a new
situation, which means that inevitably they relate to the new child in a wry
different way to previous ones - even if that's not their intention. And as a result,
each child develops their own way of responding, which is what makes them
who they are.
I: Presumably, the order a child comes in the family is also an important factor
in determining personality. What about the firstborn?
K: Well, parents are usually thrilled when the first child is born, so it's the focus
for a lot of attention und parental aspiration. The tendency is for the child to
identify strongly with the parents, taking the line of least resistance, and doing
whatever they want. Being a conscientious student at school, if this is important
to the parents, is a simple way of currying favour with them, although it doesn't
necessarily lead to more affection in fact, this is often given to the younger
ones. The oldest child typically dislikes and avoids change and risk-taking -
many establishment figures such us politicians turn out to be oldest children, it
seems.
I: Thai's interesting. I imagine younger siblings are less likely to do as they're
told, therefore?
K: Absolutely. Younger children are often very keen to stand out in some way
from the sibling born immediately before them. In what's probably an effort to
attract attention, they seem to cultivate different personality characteristics or
skills. So, if the oldest child is academic, for instance, the second might go to
great lengths to be creative or sporty or vice versa. Alternatively, if the first
child is particularly close to ore parent, says the mother, the second might
identify more closely with the father. People like revolutionaries or radical
thinkers have often tended to be youngest children - perhaps their strategy is to
rebel against the entire rest of the family.
I: And what effect does it have on u child when a new sibling comes along?
K: Mm. an interesting question. It's obviously more of a shock to the system for
the oldest child, who may do their best to dominate, in an attempt to keep things
as they were before and preserve the status quo. But if the new child grabs all
the attention, there is a risk that the older child will feel resentful at being
pushed out and react angrily towards the parents. How great an impact a new
brother or sister will have, though, is mainly related to the gap between them.
Children aged four and over are far less affected by the birth of a sibling
because they're better equipped to cope. Whereas a gap of less than two years
between children can often cause problems, even leading to psychological
problems in some cases,
I: In what ways are adult relationships affected by childhood?
K: I think emotions such as humour or anger are probably inherited from our
parents, and we can do little about that, obviously. And all parents do, to some
degree, off load baggage from their own childhood onto their children - again
inevitably. But I firmly believe that what will determine the pattern of our future
relationships is what happens to us between six months and around the age of
five. At this age, children begin to adopt specific patterns of behavior learned
from the people who take care of them, and connections start to form in the
brain. As a result of this, even as adults we continue to relate to people in the
way we learned to as children. So, whether you are, for example, secure or
trusting, or always expect the worst, will stem from this time.
I: Does this mean that, as a psychotherapist, you can do nothing to help an
adult?
K: Fortunately. I believe I can. After all, the best thing you can do for your child
is to understand yourself. My aim is to help people to become aware of why
they think and behave in the way they do, in order that they can make any
necessary changes themselves, and that's how I can really help Unfortunately,
people often keep things repressed because they're scared of confronting their
feelings, so the process of uncovering can take years. But change is always
possible if you can recognize that you are misinterpreting the signs when you
think everyone hates you, or whatever.
I: Kate, we'll have to stop there. Thank you very much.

Presenter:... and our next guest on You and Your Pets today is Roger Taylor,
author of the best-selling book Understanding Your Cat. So welcome to our
show, Roger.
Roger: Thanks, it's great to be here.
Presenter: OK, first of all, how did you get into this field?
Roger: Well, when I was growing up we always had cats at home, and when I
started studying animal psychology it seemed like the natural thing to focus on.
It's never boring. It's fascinating work: everybody I speak to wants to be able to
understand their pet better.
Presenter: Now, do you think we can really understand cats? I mean how can
you ever know what is going on in their minds?
Roger: Well, I guess we can never be one hundred percent sure, but I think you
would be surprised how many signals cats can send out.
Presenter: You mean with their body language?
Roger: Absolutely. But you have to be careful! If a cat moves its head that just
means it wants to look at you, or at something else. And it uses its paws to play
and to wash itself. What you really have to look at is a cat's tail.
Presenter: And what about cats who sit with their tails wrapped around them?
Roger: Oh well that's good. It's usually a sign of a contented cat. If two cats are
facing each other before a fight, though, this is a defensive position. The more
aggressive cat will have its tail fluffed up and pointing down or straight out.
Presenter: Really? That's interesting. So what other body language do cats
show?
Roger: Oh there are all sorts of things. If you can't tell what a cat is thinking
from its tail then its ears will probably give it away. Presenter: What do you
mean?
Roger: Well again, if two cats are facing each other before a fight they will
probably both growl and make frightening sounds, but if you really want to
know what's going on then look at their ears.
Presenter: What should we be looking for there, then?
Roger: The defender's ears will lie down flat against its head for protection. The
more aggressive cat will also flatten its ears but with a twist so that they are
pointing slightly forward.
Presenter: What about times when they are not fighting?
Roger: Well if your cat is feeling confident or curious, its ears will be pointing
upwards and slightly forward. This will let him hear as much as possible.
Presenter: So do you think cats can understand anything from our body
language?
Roger: Oh I'm sure they can. Unlike dogs, who listen carefully to the tone of
your voice, cats actually watch your eyes. One of the best tips I can give to your
listeners is that when they see a cat looking at them, they should blink slowly.
This sends a friendly message to the cat letting it know that you are not a threat.
If you do this, you will often find that the cat will come over and let you stroke
it. Presenter: Someone once told me that you should never stare at a cat. Roger:
That's right. It sends a very negative message. When a cat wants to keep another
cat away from its territory you will often see it staring at the intruder.
Presenter: Well, I'm afraid that's all we've got time for now. Who would have
thought you could learn so much from just watching your pet. I mean ... even if
you're not a cat lover, I'm sure you'll all look at cats differently from now on.
Thank you so much for being with us.
