When your kid has much older or younger siblings, including potentially half and step siblings, how can you help create the conditions for a positive relationship? Jamie shares personal feelings and experiences around growing up as an only in that situation. She touches on scheduling logistics* and then, at the [6:50] mark, the importance of “consistency of narrative.” We are looking for guests, especially if you feel blissful about your family size! Contact us with episode suggestions and feedback at PopernackPodcasts@gmail.com. Join our Facebook group One and Done: Raising an Only Child, not a Lonely Child. *Forgot to mention that siblings sending each other letters and packages can also go a long way.
