Единственный ребенок в семье: Как выжить без братьев и сестер

Is it possible to consider that children who grew up in families without brothers and sisters are similar in character and habits? Jill Pitketley and David Emerson conducted sixty in-depth interviews with people with similar experiences and answered yes to this question. The inability to share with others, excessive demands on oneself, an increased sense of responsibility, the need for personal space and keeping a distance are found in almost all “loners”. The authors tell what it is like to live with such qualities, and, moreover, they give a kind of “survival manual” that will help only children find harmony in love, friendship and work. The book is worth reading for parents raising one child, as well as friends, colleagues and partners of "single" children. The topics covered by the authors are conducive to discussion; they will be of interest to a wide range of readers, from teachers and employers to professional psychologists and psychotherapists. 18+ Translator Yerko A.
