Severalyears ago, people thought that having big families was common and this was seen as an advantage.That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family.But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, havinga big family is no longer considered to be a practical option. In fact, more couples considerthat they have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all.According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years,were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36%vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%) . However, taken together, women were still more likelyto have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%) .In recent years, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22%in 2006) . These days, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of womenwho had GIVEN BIRTH TO a single child INCREASED PROGRESSIVELY from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in2006.The U. S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in Americatoday. This COMPRISES 20% OF the children s population COMPARED TO only 10% around fifty yearsago.操作提示： 通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。1.

When you re managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they arestill learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to, hereare some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I ve been working on this for the pastfew months and I have to say, it s been amazing for both the kids and me.If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the timeto really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, whichis important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations.
