Description: A lovely searching meditation on second children on whether to have one and what it means to be one that seamlessly weaves pieces of art and culture on the topic with scientific research and personal anecdotes The decision to have more than one child is at least as consuming as the decision to have a child at all and yet for all the good books that deliberate on the choice of becoming a parent there is far less writing on the choice of becoming a parent of two and all the questions that arise during the process. Is there any truth in the idea of character informed by birth order or the loneliness of only children? What is the reality of sibling rivalry? What might a parent to one or two come to regret? Lynn Berger is here to fill that gap with the curious reflective Second Thoughts. Grounded in autobiography and full of considered allusion careful investigation and generous candor it's an exploration specifically dedicated to second children and their particular too often forgotten lot. Warm and wise intimate and universal at once it's a must read for parents - to - be and want - to - be parents of one parents of two or more and second children themselves.
