The Joys And Challenges Of Raising Only Child Cristine Pigue

You are a single-child family with a choice to stop at one. For you one child means, giving it more time, focus, attention, and love. But questions like 'WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE ARRIVING'? Or 'ARE YOU PLANNING FOR THE SECOND?' disturb you.

The only-child debate has been a long and drawn-out conversation with polarising opinions. The most prevalent, and less than encouraging, argument being that only children are spoiled, bossy, and anti-social, attaching a strong stigma for parents of only children and the children themselves.

This book emerges from practical insights for I have experienced most of the situations, heard those comments, for over a decade. Having spoken to so many moms and couples too, I thought it necessary to put all their experiences in a book.
