Only Children
Captions available
The idea
Research finds only children show empathy, self-esteem and achievement comparable to children with siblings, with perhaps less practice talking with peers.
In practice
An only child sharing easily with classmates at preschool, contrary to the old stereotype.
Where people slip
The misconception is that only children are spoiled. The evidence does not support it.
