China has allowed all couples to have two children, abandoning its decadeslong onechild policy. The change of policy is intended to balance population development and address the challenge of an aging population.
With reference to the new policy, some singlechild parents can't wait to welcome new babies. However, many factors considered, some feel a dilemma associated with their decision to have one more child. For one thing, it seems beneficial as there are no other children in the family for the only child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations.
For another, a common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with brothers or sisters. Many people believe that a single child won't have to learn to negotiate with others, and respect the giveandtake involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less able to interact well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with brothers or sisters.
However, the pressure of giving time and energy to a second child can seem too great, particularly for those with busy careers, resulting in them selecting to have no more children. For some other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration.
