   What makes only children in general to be nicer, kinder, truer, & more amiable children than
   
   children who grow up in multichild families?  Only children tend to be warmer & friendlier children.  They also interface well with other children.  They are not into game playing like children w/siblings are.  Children w/siblings are more into one-upmanship games & other forms of power play towards other children.  They also tend to engage in manipulative behaviors w/other children. They are furthermore likely to engage in fighting, bullying, & related behaviors.

      I agree. In my view, it all seems to follow Maslow's hierarchy of needs.  When basic survival needs are met, plus the higher needs of love and acceptance, human beings are able to get to the level of self-actualization in the world.

      Exactly, only children have the utmost of attention & resources.  They are free to be their authentic selves as they will be loved regardless. They are also free to develop their BEST selves.
