Moms of only children enjoy a special one-on-one bond with their child, but there are also challenges to raising only children. Find tips and advice on everything from socializing your only child to planning fun activities and holidays with your only child.
What is the most common concern other people have about your only child? In my world, it's socialization. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "only children are loners" or "only children are awkward" or "she needs a playmate or she'll be weird," I could retire now, at the ripe old age of 29. Only children are no more awkward or lonely than any other subset of children. Still, only children do need time to interact and play with other kids. We parents of onlies need to plan ahead to make sure we meet that need. Tags: only childrensocializing
