children that have siblings are not spoiled. These children are more thankful for the things they receive. My brother, sister and I are all treated fairly and we do not receive everything we want. During Christmas, you can tell that my seven year old cousin is an only child by the way she wants gifts. For me, our family is very greatful at Christmas for what we receive. Even my little brother and little sister are very thankful for all the gifts even if they dont like them.Just as an only child may be spoiled, an only child has problems interacting with other children at a young age. Since he or she spend a good amount of their time with their parents, they are more mature that other children are. They have a lot more problems with sharing and also talking things out when a problem occurs. An only child does not think before speaking and usually ends up making more enemies than friends.A child with siblings has better communication skills because he or she have the chance to interact with children that are around them all the time. These children know how it feels to hurt others feelings. My brother and sister are only 1 year apart and they hang out together playing games all the time. This helps them communicate better together and with other children. In contrast to a child with siblings, an only child is very independent because he or she does not have anyone to help them with problems except for their parents. They do not like to have help from anyone, and they dont like to be told to do things. One of my friends hates to work with groups because she does not like to listen, and she does not like to take advice from others. She feels that what others do is not as high quality of work as what she can do. Also being able to work in a group successfully means being able to communicate well and this is once again hard for an only child. An only child and a child with siblings are different in many ways. It all depends...
