I have to write a 500-word essay for this topic:

Question

Being an only child has more advantages than being one of several children in a family

so first i'm doing some freewriting and gatherind ideas.
This is what i have so far:
„_ An only child has all the attention of his/her parents
„_ He/she is provided with better things
„_ Since he/she is the future of the family, he/she is given the best of education
„_ An only child does not have to start earning early, this way he/she can go for higher studies
„_

Does anyone have more ideas? i think i broadly covered most of it,
please let me know if anyone has anything that i can add to this
thanks

Answer 1

An only child has all the attention of his/her parents
He/she is provided with better things
Since he/she is the future of the family, he/she is given the best of education
An only child does not have to start earning early, this way he/she can go for higher studies

sorry, i don't know why it didn't show up. hopefully it's showing up now. please tell me if anyone has any more ideas that i can add to these
thanks

Answer 2

An only child doesn't have to wear outgrown clothing from older siblings.
He/she doesn't have to share toys, books, computer, etc. with others.
S/he usually has his/her own room.

Frankly, I can think of more advantages to having siblings.

Answer 3

well, actually i was given a choice to writing about this or that being one of several children in a family is better than being an only child.

but since i have 3 other siblings, i don't see many advantages to it. that is why i chose to write on this

Answer 4

I understand. :-)
