Some people think that young children need to attend nursery before primary school. While others believe young children can spend all day at home. Discuss both views, and give your opinion.
The world we live in today is experiencing a high rate of increase in population. This factor has given birth to the idea of family planning, where coulples tend to downsize the number of children they intend giving birth to so they can give them quality life. However, there are also demerits of having smaller families than larger families.
The need for having a more conserved number of family members gives opportunity for every member of the family to live better than members of a crowded family. My point is that the fewer people are in a family, the more distribution of family resources for example . A couple with two children can easily send their wards to a more expensive and better school compared to parents of five children. Similarly, the smaller family will spend less on feeding and have extra for savings. Additionally, children from smaller homes tend to be more reserved in nature and better behaved as their parents would have more time to give them one on one training.
On the other hand, there is a plus for most African families who are characterized with a large number of members because they have strength. A large family give chance for division of labour when it comes to work. For example, a farmer with many children has less to worry about over manpower compared to another family with less members who may have to hire labour. Furthermore, larger families have an advantage of members not experiencing loneliness unlike the smaller families.
In conclusion, although smaller families have some reasonable high points over the larger families, we still cannot shelve aside the low points like loneliness of children from such families which often lead to withdrawal or Loss of confidence.
