   • Encourage interaction with others. To keep from feeling lonely, some only children develop imaginary friends or ties to inanimate objects, such as dolls or stuffed animals.

   • Encourage laughter. According to Kevin Leman, Ph.D. author of The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are, only children can be so logical, scholarly, and straight-thinking that they may become overly serious and fail to see the humor in things.
   • Share some responsibility. Raising an only child can foster a super-close parent-child relationship. However, some only children become too reliant on their parents for moral support, homework help, and entertainment— and parents can unknowingly reinforce this dependence.
