First born, middle child, youngest kid, or an only child – every child is unique but they are all the same in too many ways. They all need love, care, and affection – some might even demand it. Children, they give you a lot to cherish, but at the same time they may also be problematic
Back in 1800’s, a psychologist Stanley Hall concluded his research about the only child with a remark that states “Only child is a disease in itself”. Once again, we are talking about the 1800s and numerous modern psychologists including the famous Toni Falbo proved Hall’s theory wrong. Unfortunately, the negative stereotype on only child continues. Don’t fall for it.
What your child needs the most is your support and the surety that you are by their side. You can play an important role in helping them develop a sense of security. You can raise them as confident and content adults with higher sense of individuality and self esteem.
