[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid. I've seen it both ways. My daughter was an only for 8 years and in many ways was more mature and a better student. In some ways she struggled socially. I've seen some of her friends (only children) on playdates and they expected ME to play with them. No way!! My younger child (8 years younger) is far more independent than any only children I've seen. However, maturity wise, she's clearly not where her sister was at that age. Vocabulary is not quite where the older one was at a similar age, but her IQ is higher and her problem solving skills are more advanced. The younger one is a much more lateral thinker than the older linear thinker, hence the refined problem solving skills.[/quote]
