Product Description

As the parent of an only child, are you frustrated because you find yourself overindulging and overcompensating? Do you treat your child like an adult, overpraise, or overprotect him? Have you expected perfection from your child yet failed to make rules and implement them consistently? If you are not a perfect parent of an only child, you are not alone. Based on the real–life experiences of Carolyn White—editor of Only Child, parent, and educator—and hundreds of interviews with only children and parents of only children, The Seven Common Sins of Parenting an Only Child celebrates the special rewards and opportunities of the single–child family and offers a practical (and often humorous) guide for overcoming the most common errors parents can make when rearing an only child.

Based on the real–life experiences of Carolyn White–editor of Only Child magazine, parent, and educator–and hundreds of interviews with only children and parents of only children, The Seven Common Sins of Parenting an Only Child celebrates the special rewards and opportunities of the single–child family and offers a practical (and often humorous) guide for overcoming the most common errors parents can make when rearing an only child.
