LOB DES EINZELKINDES Das Ende aller Vorurteile Advice, Parenting Krüger (2008) 240 pp

IN PRAISE OF THE ONLY CHILD The End of all Prejudices In about 30 percent of households there is only one child, and demographers predict that the number of one-child families will remain high. What are the consequences for society? Will it take a turn for the worse because of it? Scientific research shows that the old prejudices are unfounded and that only children are much better than we think. Under normal circumstances they are sociable and open-minded and hardly different from children with siblings. »Lob des Einzelkindes« is a timely call to change our mind about only children.
