10 Tips For Raising an Only Child

Many only children will crave extra attention after spending enough time alone. Although they'll hopefully grow up creative and independent as a result, don't skimp on the time you do spend with them. Put down your phone, plan something special, listen to them and converse with them. Your only child will benefit greatly from being exposed to your adult language skills and having your full attention will encourage trust and help them to be open with you in the future, when they don't have an older sibling to confide in.
