Child Behavior

[Baby]

My question is, "Does the only child differ socially from other children?" If possible, I would greatly appreciate some documents or journals that is offering some factual evidence of whether or not their is a social difference. Thank-you.

I will try to answer in English...I live in Belgium.  I'm 22 and we are with 3 sisters in our family.  So we have to shra everything all the time!  I think it is important to learn that.
for example: if I had a biscuit, I must always give a part to my 2 sisters, so we broke the biscuit in three parts.
i work a lot with  young children and sometimes I meet kids who never want to give a part to their friends.  I think that one of the reasons is that they never done it before.  So learn your cld to share, even when it have no brothers or sisters!

I think you'll have to undergo a systematic review of the literature, and you can find helpful citations in the Social Sciences Citation Index and the National Library of Medicine (PubMed).
