[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of an only child, I second the recommendation for Lauren Sandler's book. I would add that the only thing I am doing differently than I would if I had more kids is that we are more proactive about two things (1) ensuring that our child has opportunities to entertain herself, including being bored, so that she has the chance to develop her internal resources and doesn't rely on others for entertainment, and (2) being a bit more proactive about facilitating friendships. It might seem like these are contradictory, but they don't feel that way. Our child is a social, outgoing, friendly kid who makes friends easily and gets along well with her peers, and who also has a great imagination and a rich inner life. [/quote]
