 ‘Speaking of children, written by
Barbara Holland published in 1980.

• This essay delightfully examines the idea of

having more than a child and the consequent
expenses of parents.
 The writer of this essay is speaking against plural children
in family.
 She suggests that there should be a single child in a
family.
 When there is a only one child, it is outnumbered by the
parents.
 . In other words, the parents control the child.
 But if there is more than a child then the children
controls the parents.
 There are many other advantages of a singular child.
 The parents can brainwash a single child.
 The parents can provide many things to be the child.
 They provide many things to the child.
 They are able to fulfill the financial requirement of a child
and other prerequisite to develop the creative facility of
their child.
 They are also able to provide emotional and moral values.
 They are also be to receive love, nourishment, care and
nurture.
• With two or more children, there are always some sort
of problems.

• The rooms are always dirty and messed up.

• It is even impossible to try a telephone cause their

children are always engaged in the telephone.

• The keyboard’s of the telephone or the piano are always

dirty.

• With one child, one my be very comfortably attend

different parties, make holidays programmes and so on.

• But with the plural one, it is always a counter cultures.

• Conclusion
• The most important part is that with plural children, there
remains no privacy between husband and wife in the house.
• They do not have enough time to talk with each other.
• For example: when the writer tries to speak to her
husband or when she wants to be alone with him, she can’t
do so because they are always interrupted by their children.
• . So, nowadays they telephone each other from their offices.
• The next important point is that the families where there
are plural children , the guardians almost get no time for
their works of their personal development.
• So, when we compare and contrast the advantages and
disadvantages of one child and plural children. Certainly
there is no doubt that there should be only one child in a
family and In the same way, the writer also advocates for
one child in a family.
