Description
Lauren Sandler's thought-provoking exploration of the benefits of having an only child challenges common assumptions about parenting and family dynamics. As an only child herself and mother of one, Sandler delves into the unique advantages of single-child families, examining how they thrive in a world with increasing pressures on parents. Through a nuanced and engaging approach, Sandler considers the impact of single-child families on our economies, environment, and freedom, leaving readers informed and sympathetic. With a mix of history, culture, politics, and scientific research, Sandler presents a seductively honest and humorous take on this often-overlooked topic.
