I think that it is better to have many children. First of all, it is easier to raise a few children than one. Elder children take care of the younger ones. Second, children in big families are less egocentric. Taking care of others, they learn how to serve in a good meaning of this word. Big families are more well-knit than families with an only child.

I cannot agree with the opinion mentioned above for a particular reason. Bringing up children is a difficult task, nevertheless, this process gives a lot of pleasure. When parents see their children learn new things, achieve good results they forget about the difficulties they have.

In conclusion, I would like to say that it is up to parents to choose how many children to raise. There might be some reasons for having an only child. Nevertheless, I stick to the traditional look at this point where families have a lot of children and everybody helps each other.

In conclusionI would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight having only one child, parents have fewer problems with raising him but in actual fact elder children can take care of the younger ones thus helping their parents. That is why I would support the idea of having many children.
