Hello, (I am not a teacher),

but I believe there is no word for what you want to say. I know there are words for the older or younger children, nonetheless I stil reckon there aren't words for the orders for the others children, maybe I'm wrong.

Cordially,

Yes, it is correct that there is no word for "second child." "I am my father's second child" is the best you can do.

The question you are looking for, however, might be, "What is your order of birth in your family?" You might say, "What is your place in the family?" or "What is your place among your siblings?" but that might be misconstrued.

I hope that is what you are looking for.
