Being the only child in a family means unlimited love of parents, focused only on the child. Toys, sweets, entertainment are only for the child.

However, is it really good to be the only child in the family? There are some advantages and disadvantages.

As a rule, it is much easier for parents when they have only one child. It is much easier to spend time playing or learning with one child. In addition, it is easier to educate and control one child. Moreover, when there is only one child in the family, parents can afford to buy more for him: toys, educational games, educational sections. Parents can spend more time teaching their child. It has also been shown that a child who spends more time among adults has a more rational mind than his peers growing up among siblings. Everyone can cope with one crying child; it is difficult to establish contact with several children in hysterics.

It should be noted that there are also disadvantages being one child in the family. Children who grow up without siblings get used to getting whatever they want. Such indulgence in all the whims of the child may in the future «backfire» on the parents by the lack of responsibility and independence in the already grown child. When a child does not play alone, but with other children, he is happier. It is easy to share intimate thoughts and feelings with brothers and sisters. Sometimes children can not tell secrets to their parents. Therefore, sometimes the only children in a family feel lonely.

As for me, I believe that it is necessary to consider the issues of having another child not only in terms of the benefits for the first child. Only parents should think about whether they want a second child.
