14.To have a second child or not,this is a question.
A concern about only one child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child.Many parents of only child feel guilty of their decision to have only one child.There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with,which may lead to the child feeing lonely at times.
Another common argument against having just one child may be more spoiled than one with siblings.Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others,and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships.Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age.
Despite these arguments,the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in the world.For some single-child parents,the pressures of devoting time and energy to a second child can result in them selecting have no more children.For other parents,the financial burden of having a second child may be the major consideration.Another important consideration is the increasing age at which women give birth to children.
Advocates of single-child families argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents.With just one child,the parents can give,and the child can receive,more quality time and attention.
However,there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child.The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique.The important thing,in the end,is to make a decision that both the wife and the husband feel confident.
