[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Combination of innate personality traits, parenting style, and lack of having to accommodate siblings. It’s everything together![/quote] +1. Parenting style and only child go hand in hand. When similar age siblings are in the mix you are naturally forced to compromise more and are more aware of give and take (“we went to the museum yesterday because you wanted that, Billy. tomorrow we are going to the playground, since that’s what Molly wants.”) I see this with my kids’ friends who have much older siblings (10+ years), because their experience is pretty similar to that of an only child. But nothing is universal, some kids are just less willing to compromise and are more oriented towards getting their “needs” (target run, laser tag, etc) met.[/quote]
