Disadvantages and advantages of having only one child. Do the advatages outweigh the disadvantages?

#child #advatages
Nowadays, lifestyle has dramatically changed and parents have
one
child
. In my opinion, the benefits of having
one
child
 outweigh the disadvantages.
To begin
, the main advantage of being a low number of members of families is overpopulation which means if each family is born just
one
 kid, the population is decreasing all over the world.
Moreover
, all problems which relate to the population
such
 as air pollution and types of illnesses are decreasing.
Secondly
, kids can get full attention from their families.
Also
, families have much time to do some activities with their children.
For instance
, going to a park, talking to their children, and giving a piece of good advice to their children.
However
, being
one
child
 in a family is not good for a kid. because they feel lonely.
Also
, kids can improve your part of their personality which relate to having a brother or sister.
For instance
, sharing something that you have with your siblings cause you will be not selfish in society.
Although
 they can learn from other kids who are your age. In conclusion, I conclude that
one
child
 in a family has more benefits overall.
