Darrell Sifford, an only child himself, has drawn from countless case studies and interviewed a wide range of psychologists to come up with a unique picture of the only child. He asks:
<ul>
<li>What drives the only child to achieve at levels above and beyond other children?</li>
<li>Why is it so hard for the only child to forgive and forget?</li>
<li>Why are only children so respectful of authority?</li>
<li>Why does it seem the only child has a bottomless need for praise?</li>
<li>How can parents keep from spoiling and overvaluing their only child?</li>
<li>How can only children break the chains of parental dependency?</li>
</ul>
This is the first warm, personal, and enormously helpful exploration of what it really means to grow up without siblings. It will leave only children feeling very good about themselves.
