Parenting an Only Child: The Joys and Challenges of Raising Your One and Only

Refreshing read and confirming how I felt growing up as an only child. Expels many myths.

This book was fantastic! I am the mother of an only child and have a difficult time finding ANY information about only children, especially parenting. I only seem to find children's books about being an only child, and even those are few and far between. I really enjoyed the way the author discussed and disspelled the myths about only children (which I loved since I have heard them all), and also discussed the special circumstances that come with parenting an only child. There are very few books about there about parenting only children (all of which I have read), but this one is by far my favorite! It's great to keep on hand to reference back to as your only child grows up. Definitely worth the purchase if you are raising or considering an only child. Highly recommended!

I didnt grow up to be that messed up tbh

The book is easy to read, the author keeps an active voice. I've skipped many chapters since they didn't apply to me. I'm not a single father, I know I want just one child. Its a good read during bath time :)

Got this book for my daughter who is having problems with her only child. The book offers many suggestions as to how todeal with the numerous behavior problems the "only child" might exhibit.
