The question comes early and often: is one enough. This is the steady reassurance and practical guidance that answer it well: how to build in playmates and connection without siblings, why the old stereotypes about only children rarely hold up, what to watch for in your own worry about spoiling or loneliness, and how to raise a child who is secure, generous, and well loved as your family's whole and complete household.
