The only child in the family: how to survive without brothers and sisters

Is it possible to assume that children who have grown in families without brothers and sisters are similar in character and habits? Jill Pitketley and David Emerson conducted sixty detailed interviews with people with such experience, and answered this question in the affirmative. Inability to share with others, high requirements to oneself, an enhanced sense of responsibility, the need for personal space and observing the distance are found in almost all “loners”. The authors tell what to live with such qualities, and, moreover, give a kind of “survival instructions”, which will help the only children find harmony in love, friendship and work.
The book should read to parents raising one child, as well as friends, colleagues and partners of children, loners. The topics affected by the authors have a discussion, they will interest the widest circle of readers - from teachers and employers to professional psychologists and psychotherapists
