Question

Pan Hui is a 14-year-old Beijinger. Like many only children in China， Pan is happy and confident(自信)， except when he feels lonely from time to time. “It’s not fun， especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or sister.” She said.

It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. Several months ago， China ended its long-lasted one-child policy(政策)， and now every couple can have two children. But what would it be like growing up with a sibling(兄弟姐妹)?

A sibling can stop children from having feelings such as loneliness and fear， according to Laura， a professor from Brigham Young University， US. “Siblings give kids something that parent can’t”.

But there are downsides too. You need to share things with your siblings， including attention from parents， toys， the TV. There could be lots of competition， name calling(吵架)， and even hair-pulling.

Even the birth of order can make a difference. US psychologist(心理學家) Kevin said the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different characteristics in children. Kevin explained that parents are usually very nervous and strict on the first child. So firstborns are often responsible(負責的) and have success more easily. When the couple have a second child， they are more relaxed. So late-born kids are usually humorous and creative.
