Only Children

One of the podcasts I regularly listen to is Woman’s Hour, and yesterday’s was about Only Children as adults which, as an only child, was interesting for me. I’d never really given much thought to the concept of there being “particular challenges facing only children”, but I guess there are. Thinking about it, I don’t know that many only children, so I guess we’re still rare, although my Mum is an only child too.

Since listening to the podcast I’ve been doing a bit of googling on only children and have found a mailing list, a magazine, a book as well as the conference mentioned on the podcast. I’d never even though about there being support networks for only children, but I guess there are support networks for everything else 🙂
