Focus on Better Behavior

There are pros and cons to having an only child. Some of the pros are that they get undivided attention and care from their parents and don’t have to share their toys. Some of the cons are that they can become lonely or bored. They may not develop good social skills and have trouble interacting with other children.  Try involving them in activities where other children their age are present. Invite their friends over for play dates. Teach them sharing and negotiating skills. You want them to grow up and have sufficient social skills which will help them in adulthood.
