Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child. Worried that theyre being
21、selfish and endangering their childs future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice. Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同龄
