[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Combination of innate personality traits, parenting style, and lack of having to accommodate siblings. It’s everything together![/quote] I think this is it. My oldest (soon to be not an only) is SOOOOOO demanding. We say no plenty. We do not take random trips to Target just because she asks us to buy something. But I do think that being the only child gives kids a level of attention and sense of importance that’s different from kids with siblings. Honestly, this is one of the reasons we decided to have a second. I don’t think it’s natural or healthy for kids to maintain this mentality permanently, and there’s only so much you can do as a parent to combat it.[/quote]
