Is it right to have a single child or people must opt to have more kids?
It is BEST to have a single child.Single children are the most adjusted, confident, & successful.They also have myriad opportunities that children w/siblings don't have.Studies confirm that single children are the happiest because they don't have to be involved in sibling gamesmanship & one-upmanship.Single children also never dethroned by succedent siblings nor encounter issues of sibling rivalry nor parental favoritism which is rife in multichild households.
Single children are exposed to more cultural & intellectual activities because parents have the monies to expose them to foreign travel, restaurants, plays, dancing/music lessons, & other pursuits.They are also more likely to have tertiary education & above because there are monies for such. Also parents have more span of control & individualized time w/single children than they would w/multiple children who oftentimes are bereft of parental time & attention. It is common for children in multichild household to raise themselves & each other.
Single children also have more advanced & adult-like vocabularies & mannerisms because they grow up in a primarily adult environment where the main role models are adults instead of other children. According to Dr. Zajonc, a social psychologist, the more children in a household,the more intellectually immature & backward a child is. Children w/siblings are not as advanced intellectually as single children because their primary role models are other children who are not as advanced as adults are.
Because single children are around adults, they are better behaved. They are also more cultured & intellectual because they are exposed to cultural & intellectual activities.They also have more discussions w/ their parents than children w/siblings who converse only w/each other. Single children are also more creative & independent because they are used to playing alone.They are comfortable w/being alone & can effectively entertain themselves.Children w/slbilings are needy, are uncomfortable w/being alone & must constantly be w/others for company.
Single children are truer people.They respect & value friendships & relationships.They interface well w/others.Children w/siblings are more manipulative because they grew up in environments where competition for parental attention is rife.They will do anything including usurp siblings to gain that attention.Children w/siblings are more likely to fight & bully others because that is part of the sibling relationship.
My only concern is that taking a decision to have second child is something that is not in the hands of a single partner. Both of the partners should go ahead with it mutually.- 13
