The Dangers of Hypervalued Parenting

Parents are a lot older than they used to be. They have many, many fewer children. That means that comparatively speaking each child is hypervalued. And obviously there's some utility in that, but there's some real danger in it too. Children don't have a lot of siblings. The thing about siblings is they take the narcissism out of you because the siblings compete like mad for attention. If you're like center of the universe among your brothers and sisters, they're not gonna be very happy about that.
