Parenting Only One Child: A Modern Guide to Understand and Raise your Child to Success

The stereotypes of the lonely, spoilt only child are dispelled by social psychologist Frederick M. Jefferson, who has been researching single-child homes since the 1980s. He also provides in-depth discussion of the important topics, such as:
- Deciding on the ideal family size for you
- Resisting the urge to get another
- Retaining the balance of power in a home with three people.
- Raising the only child by yourself
- Establishing limits with a young child who is accustomed to receiving your full attention
- Promoting only children's strong academic success, originality, and independence
- The results of having parents as role models rather than siblings
- Dispelling long standing myths about only children
- Establishing family networks and other future support systems.
This is the most approachable, current manual of its kind, with psychologist Frederick sharing his knowledge and offering practical advice while presenting fascinating findings and family stories.

Parenting Only One Child provides reassuring clarity and unique insight for couples who are either raising an only child or are considering the choice.
