Second Thoughts

On Having and Being a Second Child
A beautifully written account of a quest, both personal and scientific, to better understand the impact and experience of the second child.

'Beautifully written, deeply humane, a gem of a book' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind: A Hopeful History

While every parent knows more of what to expect the next time round, the birth of a second child is no less momentous. Family relationships multiply, birth-order myths hover and sibling rivalry and parental exhaustion threaten. Yet the potential for joy and love within the family also expands, as if by magic.

This new literary talent shines a tender insight on a forgotten subject: what it is to parent for the second time and what it is to forever be a younger child.
