Parents with only one child can often devote more attention and focus to that child since they dont have to divide their time and energy among multiple children. This can lead to a closer parent-child bond and a higher level of involvement in the childs life. Parents with multiple children often encourage independence and self-reliance earlier due to the need to manage various responsibilities. In contrast, parents with only children may be more likely to engage in activities or tasks that the child could do independently, inadvertently fostering a greater dependence on the parents.
