My mother never allowed me to be “spoiled” by buying me anything I wanted. She encouraged me to work for my wants while she and my dad satisfied my needs. That set me up with a strong work ethic that is still with me today. Other only children I have met over the years seem to feel entitled to all the attention, showing a snobbish attitude. In your classroom, watch for the reticent only child. That’s the child who is most in need of your attention.
Fast forward 30 years… I now have three grown children of my own. I watched as they squabbled, played pranks on each other, and yes, sometimes cooperated with chores. Unlike me, they learned the fine art of grabbing my attention, whether positively or negatively! In a group project at school, they sometimes complained about the other student who worked, but didn’t bring anything new to the group, or simply sat there and watched the others work. Hmm… I see myself in that situation as the quiet kid who finished my part of the project without much interaction.
Fast forward another 30 years… I am now retired, my children are grown, and they each have 2 or 3 children of their own. Good job, kids, no more only children in the next generation. And as a retiree, I’ve been creating project-based learning resources for the teachers still in the trenches. Check out my many and varied list of project based resources mostly for middle school: Project-based Learning. I have projects for every state in the union plus DC in addition to projects on most ancient history topics.
