[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up as an only child and socially I think I lost out. Without a sibling to tease me and teach me how to work through arguments, I often found social situations very challenging, anxiety inducing and I failed in them. In fact I'd say I failed in most social situations until now as an adult I just avoid them, unless they are brief and light.[/quote] This is what I worry about for my child, who is an only. He is improving in his ability to relate to other kids socially but my observation of most of his peers who have a sibling or two is that they are far more relaxed in social situations. [/quote] That is just how your kid is wired. Please don't blame yourself. My sister is like this and she grew up with me - I'm good with people. [/quote]
