Now my parents have made a decision to give birth to a second child, which worries me a great deal. Though it is good to have a brother or sister to grow up with, I have to share everything with him or her. Most importantly, what if the love from my parents is totally switched to the new child
Read and take notes
Read and find out the opinion about the two-child policy.
In my opinion, having a second child has many advantages. The most important one is that it is good for the only child to have a sister or brother so that the child can learn to share things. The parents easily focus their all attention on the only child, they want to give all the things he or she wants. But in the long run, they don’t realize they have spoiled their child to be an emperor.
Read and take notes
Read and find out the opinion about the two-child policy.
Since in Chinese tradition old people would not like to spend their later life in the nursing house, two children can share the burden of caring for the parents and supporting them when they grow old. Those only children would be exhausted then while they have their own families to take care of. What’s more, the more kids in the family, the happier the family will be. Watching the children play and fight is a kind of fun for the parents. The lively phenomenon makes people feel happy.
