How many childs one should have to ensure proper development and growth of them?

I agree in some to some of this. I mean the costs of having kids can be expensive.

A single child option is not desirable. Whether male or female at least two children must be reared in the home . it is necessary to understand the true nature of mutual love and affection . A lone child would sit back all the time brooding over his deprivation of a brother or sister as companions.

Honestly I think it has nothing to do with proper mental development and growth as to how many children one family has. Every one is different and has different ways of raising their children, which is what I think matters most in a child's "proper" mental development and growth!

for me, two children to a family should be the most that a family will best consider. nowadays, when life is getting even so much more difficult, we just don't have a clear and surefire way of knowing what this world will be like in the next decade or two. i even respect all the more those who have opted having no more children. some people have realized that they do not have to have children of their own anymore. the risk is much too high already. as for me, i had already thought of having only two at a time when most couples had from 4 to 6. i happen to have three though, a plus one came to me after 8 years. it is just fine. my youngest is 19 years old now.

Times are hard nowadays especially raising children. I come from a big family of 10 and my parents did a good job in giving everyone of us a sound education. I wouldn't have ask for more but after leaving the family nest each of us was given 10 acres of land to start our own family. I believe if you can manage. it is better to have many children because they are our only treasured assets in life. You give them life God give you the blessing in raising them. God have accorded them a special place on earth. Due to health problem I only manage to have 2 sons and I adopted 2 girls. Both my sons are working and earning good income. It is not so much of a difficulty to instill proper development in a child. It is only the first 10 years of a child life that you have to really mould them to instill good values and discipline. They will grow to be what you want them to be if they have these basic development from young.

I vote for two children ,the expenses in the coming yrs is going to be higher and higher and for managing this expenses if we kept on decreasing the no.of children then one day we have to decide better to stay alone or after mariage better to be with out children .these expenses are going to increase and how to manage this expenses lies the solution still iconsider lot of families are wasting lot of their money and creative energy for unnecessary things if one is satisfied with the necessary things avoiding those luxury or making life simple as possible .we can manage our finances much better so the child is going to get benefit also.he is also going to learn from us .i think parents can easily manage two children.

I think every one should have two kids and i belive in saying that, of the two eyes one is not necessary for our sight and we need both of them.

Usually with rising expenses comes a rise in pay - well, that's how it works here in Australia - when the cost of things rise, they usually allow a small rise to the wages. Education costs here are helped by the government, i guess it's just what they think works best. So you get a certain amount to help cover the costs of things like lifestyle, education & things like that. As for mental development - all you really need to do there is to make sure the child is always learning new things - which is what helps a mind to develop & grow. Toys, shapes, colours, then on to things like books etc & then with school & stuff the mind is always developing! I think you should just have as many children as you can afford to have, if 1 is fine then just have 1 but if you want more than 1, make sure you can provide for them all before you have them!

Well ideally it has to be 2 because it helps the children to become a good person.they learn to share & also don't fill lonely.But in todays time one has to look at the finacial aspect also.It is really difficult to raise a single child with so much expenses for health, educaton etc.

Doctors say it will be good if there are two children as it will boost their mental strength than being alone

Well two is the best option. One is lonely and three is a croud

hm for me two child is the best number for me to ensure the development for my child because with this number i think it'll make us easier to control them and give them better development and growth..

I feel that we should have 2 children to ensure proper development and growth of them. Two children can be comfortable enough sharing their lives with each other. A single child many a times become dependant on parents, is not outgoing, may become frustrated or out of control. Also, I want to have one child of my own and one i want to adopt from an orphanage if my would be and family allows me to do so. That would be the best option for me.

We are all 6 children in the family but my parents still managed to give us all a good education and better lives despite of any hardships. I think it is by parents,if they want more than 1 or 2 children it's their decision as long as they are sure that they can support their children's needs and development.

I think 2 children are enough too. One should ahve only that many as they think they can raise efficiently and provide a good life for. Coz there is no point in having so many children that you ultimately cant take care of them financially or even emotionally.

Raising a child properly is more than just a money issue. Many parents are poor as church mouses but they raise commendable children while the rich and famous turn out like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. I sometimes think that the less children have the better it is for them.
