283. The psychology of 'only child' syndrome

283. The psychology of 'only child' syndrome

We've all heard the stereotypes about only children - they're selfish, they're dominating, they're arrogant, they are spoiled. Well, it turns out that might not be accurate. In today's episode we break down the intricate psychology of the only child and do a quick review of birth order theory, including:

  • Where did our stereotypes about only children come from
  • Are only children smarter?
  • What makes them such perfectionist?
  • Who do only children date?
  • What should only children do for work?
  • The complex child-parent relationship + the struggles of being an only child

This was such a fascinating episode, I hope you enjoy and happy listening!
