The one who behaves well, and does so without having to be told..
..or the one who behaves well, but has to be told why they shouldn't misbehave all the time - say once a week?

The latter. It shows that that child has an independent mind and questions everything.

Children are just little people, less life experience, but they are all individual. The way a child behaves can sometimes reflect the way they are being parented, If a parent is having trouble with a child, The parent can get involved in Positive parenting programs to help smooth out problems or solve them.

There's no such thing as the first child. Everyone has had to be told at one time or another, how and when to behave. We all had to be taught right from wrong and good from bad. We're not born knowing it. The first child sounds like a robot.

In my opinion, there isn't a better child, but if there was I'd say the first one. If she/he is naturally like that, that's great, but there is no real fault in the second child either. Ideally, they wouldn't have to be told why as often as once a week, but does it matter?

God said: let us make MAN (not either sort of child-ren)
Paul said: when I became a "man", I put away child-ish.
Of two sorts of children compared in Mt 13 & Rom 9,
better sort is still a child: differs nothing from servant.
Children and servants are know nots: "forgive them".
Higher exhortation is: be no more children: Eph 4:14.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

No such thing as a better child. Kids are kids and all have their good points and the points we wished they'd lose somewhere. And all of them need to be told why they need to do or not do certain things. It's just how they're raised and they need the human interaction for social skills.

Both, no two children are alike and each is just trying to find their space in this great big world =)
