Revolutionary Ideas: Why Have More Children But Worry Less

In former years alone child in the family was a rarity and almost all had brothers or sisters. Now the situation has changed dramatically, only some parents decide on the appearance of a third, for example, a baby.

Economics professor Kaplan believes that stereotypes imposed by society, which not only reduce the birth rate, but also make some parents absolutely unhappy people, are to blame.

The world is too dangerous

As a rule, comparing life then and now, people say that it is more dangerous to live in the modern world. At the same time, they forget how they themselves went to school and home unaccompanied, and even ran away to the neighboring forest in the evening with friends.

We can say that now it has even become easier for parents, because they can control the safety and movement of their children with the help of numerous gadgets. It turns out that there are no more dangers, and the technology even reduced them, but we absolutely do not notice this, we think that everything has become worse.

The child needs a lot of attention

Parents believe that they should give all their time to children, Kaplan says.

The most caring mothers and fathers do everything possible so that the child does not have free time either.

Sections, circles, developing classes... If both the child and the parents like to regularly go somewhere and do something together, then there is no problem. But many women decide to forget about their careers or stop caring for themselves.

Probably, the trend was born out of the trend of being good parents, and only a few moms and dads ask their children if they need it?

Children require a lot of money

All these sections and circles that we mentioned earlier lead to a logical conclusion. Raising a child smart and developed is expensive. But is it?

Advertising assures us that without English courses, a child will not be able to master the program at school, and literally all girls need dancing. But our parents are an example of how you can grow up to be a good, full-fledged and intelligent person without constantly running from teacher to teacher, just... living.

Kaplan invites parents to draw their own conclusions.
