Just
a small question!
As
I was walking in the park overheard a couple talking and their statement was “The
problem is that these ‘single’ children are always selfish. They don’t know to
share and care! In a household where there are more than one child, they grow
up to be responsible and loving children.”
What
do you say? And why?
Please
answer this question – however silly you may think your answer will be, still
answer. It’s important....

Oh my God. I was just having the same thoughts this morning. I know a couple of single children (who are grown up now) who have created too much trouble for their spouses, children, everyone around them as they expect the same attention from everyone, which they would have received when they were younger. It's not about being a single child or having siblings, it's about the fact that parents are unable to demonstrate the act of sharing unless they make an effort to do so. Sometimes even kids with siblings become selfish if they see each other as competition.its even more of an issue if their parents constantly praise them in front of others and give them way too much attention.
So, I guess it's about getting too much attention from everyone around which is the problem, regardless of the number of siblings.
No mam it is the environment of the child that makes him selfish because single children r ready to mingle
Children observe their elders and the people in their surroundings
I disagree with that couples comments. I have seen kids with siblings being mean, careless and selfish all their life. And I have seen kids who did not have siblings share and, care about everyone. I have also noticed that kids become selfish when parents or care givers in the house hold do not address behavioral issues with their kids in a constructive way from the beginning, saying ‘he/she is just a kid, they will learn when they grow up’. Kids listen to elders (parents and other grown ups at home) when they are young and form their opinions and behaviors.
It doesn’t matter if it is one kid or more than one kid, it matters what kind of parenting we follow and environment we give them.
I have only one child and I used to wonder if I should have another one so my first child would learn to share and care. I don’t have another, but I have experienced that my child is growing to be a very selfless and caring individual who analyses everyone’s emotions and tries to help everyone. His school staff and everyone, who has dealt with him, have said how easily he gets along with everyone.
when you participate through your feedback, it makes me want to write more....thanks for all your 'comments'....otherwise it feels i am talking to the wall....and then i don't want to write anymore....
It's the environment that you give the child is more important.
How parents behave is what they learn. What they see they inculcate.
Now that I look at this post, I think that it may not be purely about a kid/ an individual’s ability to share and care. It may also be about the couples perceptions. Their opinion may be based on their conditions and expectations. Not sure how they define sharing and caring, but that also could have an impact on their opinion.
