The Benefits of Small Families |
|
|
Gone are the days when large families were the norm, as today's families usually
consist of only two or three children. There are many reasons why people have
chosen to have fewer children and smaller families today. However, small
families definitely have several advantages over large families.
Firstly, small families can have more comfortable lives. With fewer people
living under one roof, there is more space for everyone. Children in large
families often have to share rooms while those in small families can have their
own rooms. There is also more peace and quiet in the home of a small family,
with fewer people competing over space, privacy, and what to watch on TV.
Moreover, with fewer family members, less money is needed for basic necessities
such as food and clothing. This means more money can be used to purchase better
quality furniture, gadgets, bigger cars, and holidays.
A second reason why small families are better than large families is that the
children will receive more attention from their parents. This means that their
emotional needs are more easily met, and they feel loved and are happier and
closer to their parents. Furthermore, parents with two children have more time
to guide and teach each child compared to parents with half a dozen kids. As a
result, the children are more likely to be mature and disciplined. Such children
also tend to perform better in their studies.
In addition, children in small families have equal opportunities compared to
those in large families. Money and other resources are shared out among fewer
children, and each of the children will likely have the chance to go to
university. In large families, it is usually only the eldest or the smartest who
will get such opportunities.
Therefore, there is no doubt in my mind that small families are better than
large families. I think small families enjoy a better quality of life. Not only
that, but each child will benefit from the loving guidance of the parents and
have equal opportunities in life. That is why I personally prefer a small
family. |
