My daughter comprises with me all the time. Sometimes I think I’m the bratty one 😁

as someone who grew up with 6 siblings make sure to eat the last of his leftovers at least once in his life🤣

I just got sent to play groups super early and then watched closely to make sure I was sharing with friends and being kind.

the problem is that there is a different power differential between a sibling and a parent. he can never fight it out with you as with a sibling, and you will always be a parent who has the last say. I don't think it generalized well to interactions that are at an equal level.

Don’t forget not letting them win all the time. Learning to lose graciously is a skill. We all celebrate the winner and it’s not always my kid 😄

This approach is wonderful! I grew up the middle of 6 kids and am now dating a man with an only child. It’s eye-opening how intentional you have to be at creating circumstances that require your only children to consider the needs of another.

We do this but quite calmly and kindly 😭my brother in law however does this but like a proper sibling does 😂he’s 28 arguing with a 4 year old and stealing stuff off her 😂😂it’s made her such a better all round child 😭

Flailing at Life :
We intentionally made friends with another parent of an only and have play dates at LEAST once a week, and also sometimes will invite the other’s kid on mundane family outings. They practice skills like not getting their preferred seat in the car every time, not getting to pick the TV show, negotiating on snacks/lunch locations, etc.

As a mom of 3, it is glaringly obvious when we have an only child over to play who us raised knowing they are the center of the world vs not. I’d also encourage you to attend a friends or cousins sports event or concert! Boring or not we show up for people we love

Dr Adam Crymble :
You’ve got a deficit view of only children you’re trying to fix. Have you also got your eye on the things only children miss out on to minimise those negative effects? He isn’t broken he just has a different experience. Make sure there’s work on both sides. Be his siblings at the pool too, and the beach, and the park. Nothing is worse than “I’ll watch you”

We do the same with picking meals, games and such. It's not always his choice. We rotate. Same with music in the car or podcast topics. We do the same when we travel, the way we spend our time is divided by our interests.
