In other words, the most important factors in any child’s development are not whether they have
a brother or a sister, but whether their parents have a good education and adopt the right values
for the family. It is unavoidable that only-children will have experience certain things differently
from children with siblings.
Also, it is often believed that because only children and their parents often share a higher level of intimacy, their parents will be more attentive to the needs of their children, they would make a greater effort to maintain good relations and be more supportive toward their children’s personal and academic endeavors.
