Only Child Playgroup Atlanta

Do you have an only child between the ages of 0-10? Are you interested in helping your child form lasting friendships with other people whose families resemble their own? Would you like to share stories and strategies about parenting your fabulous only child in a supportive, non-judgmental environment? Then come join Only Child Playgroup Atlanta!

We meet once or twice a month for play dates in parks, museums, and other kid-friendly places. Whatever your reason for having only one, whether you are committed or on the fence, this is the playgroup for you! (Siblings who are more than 8 years apart also welcome.) Check us out and explore the positive difference that a community of "one-and onlies" can make for your family!

"The bad rap that onlies have taken for centuries is finally becoming obsolete. Savvy parents are turning out fabulous only children with no or very few hang-ups. It is crystal clear...that being an only child is advantageous, desirable and beneficial." ---Susan Newman, "Parenting an Only Child: The Joys and Challenges of Raising Your One and Only"

"Hilliary, YOUR reason IS reason enough to stop at one. Please don't fret over whether it is good enough... Moms have so much guilt over many things. Really any reason a mom has is enough...."

"Thanks, Karla, Pam and Shana for keeping the discussion going. I'm starting to realize that my struggle runs a little deeper and has to do with my uncertainty about our family's size. Before I became a mom, I thought I wanted two or three kids...."
