Two is too many
Why a family needs one child instead of two?
As I have already told you, the argument between my wife and I has gotten too far than I expected .She insists on us having two children, contrary to my suggestion of having one. My wife comes from a family of five; 2 sister and 3 brothers, mine is a family of 9; six brothers and 3 sisters. I have tried explaining this situation to my best but you’ve completely disagreed with me and sited with her.
I would like you to enter into an agreement with me that: for every child that my wife will give birth to beginning from the second born onwards, each one of you shall be giving me fifteen percent of your salary to cater for the expenses of rising up the child and my allowances. Just but to be sure, how many will do that? Yes, you can see the reaction for yourself, you have all declined.
Today, there is a completely different version of an only child compared to those of previous years; this is a version of happier and far more numerous individuals that have excellent and well balanced social attributes (American Psychological Association, 2010). This is contrary to those times when the idea of having a single child was attached to a social stigma to which there was an assumption of the existence of a fertility problem amongst the parents and that neither of them could accept to take the blame. Nowadays this notion has virtually diminished and the parents take it so trendy to have an only child.
Sincerely speaking, you will have to cite with me on this issue that there is a lot more benefits attached to the situation of a single child as compared to families with two or more siblings. These benefits are for both the parents and the kid, for the case of the kid, initially there is no competition for the parents affection which leads to high emotional and intellectual achievement, as it has been evidenced, high achievers in most careers are single children (Belkin, 2009).
This is attributed to the fact that they learn most skills on their own, these are such things like talking and walking, by the time they begin to attend school, they are already good conversationalists hence tend to do well in school work and averagely in sports, while alone the single child tends to amuse itself by drawing, playing, talking and reading this activities enhances the single child’s abilities and mostly becomes prodigious readers by eight to nine years. Obviously the only child regards books and their characters as viable allies which tend to instill creativity, intellectual prowess, multi-lingual skills and matured social responses.
You will concur with me that couples/parents to a single child have a greater deal to boast of , First it concern the focus to the learning pattern and general child development because they have enough time to direct individual attention to the child. When I compare the only children with the first borne they both have a unique character of high achievement in later life which is attributed to the parental individual attention that is normally given for the first few years of infancy. Only child often have greater stimulation since this individual attention is provided throughout childhood and it puts them in the strongest position during later adult lives.
From my point of view, Parents who have a single child to cope with normally enjoy life and can easily sustain a good viable relationship; it is only the appearance of the second born that brings difficulties in the consequent years. For instance an only child’s mother has limited chances of dealing with pregnancy situations and toddlers at the same time, having a single child also guarantees freedom from sleepless nights. Generally a couples ‘mutual relationship is always overwhelmed with the organization and logistics of having more than one child.
