Thank you for the useful article.
We have a beautiful 4 year old daughter and feel complete however…
She is asking why she does not have a sibling? On a couple of occasions she has said she wants one…
How do i answer these questions without her feeling lonely or left out as a majority of her friends have siblingS.
Kind regards,
Clare

I have often wondered why my son has never asked for a sibling. He is now 9 years old. Can you explain why that might be?
