Advantages and disadvantages of having only one child

In two recent decades, the number of one-

child

families has been documented to be the quickest on the rise. Proponents of more-than-one-

child

families proffered an opinion that the chances of bringing up an overindulged

child

are ominous in

this

type

of families, while others hold that inhabiting in one-

child

families positively impacts adolescents' demeanour. Below are some merits and demerits of being a single

than any other. If their children misbehave, they are prone to neglect their children’s faults and place their blame on the others in lieu, which causally abets apathetic demeanours towards other people and a reckless way of life. In summary, being nurtured in the

single-

child

family presents its both pros and cons;
