How do I get these specific pathlines to nodes?












2














I have four nodes, one parent and three children. I am trying to link with these specific arrow paths:



path lines I want



I have only just started working with the tikz package and my code so far looks like:



usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{arrows,positioning,calc}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}[
,node distance =5mm
,>=latex'
,block/.style ={
,draw
,minimum height = 10mm
,minimum width =28mm
,align=center
}
,every path/.style={->} %sets arrow style
]
node [block] (main) {Main};
node [block, below=of main] (second) {Second};
node [block, left=of second] (first) {First};
node [block, right=of second] (third) {Third};

draw (main) to (first);
draw (main) to (second);
draw (main) to (third);
end{tikzpicture}

end{document}


Which gives me:



enter image description here



I tried using -| but that only produced one corner in the path, not the two I need. Any help is appreciated.
