The however child in the family usually gets what he wants because he is the apple of his parents eye which can make the child feel that it is natural to think about however his own needs. While in a more-than-one-child family, a child may not get what he wants because his parents still have other children to care about which can make the child think about his siblings before he speaks out his needs. As time goes on, these two children can have different ideas when transaction with others desires and their own. As we can see from the above, the personal effects do exist. And this study will explore both the positive and negative effects on only children and children with siblings fit in to their birth order.Lets look at the only child family first. Only children can always get their parents whole attention, which means they are existent with their parents whole love. Parents are likely to try everything to make their only children grow with happiness and comforts.
