Humans have an innate instinct to take care of their offspring, and even if they aspire to be "dinks" (childless couples) at a young age, they may change their minds subsequently. After having their first child, they may enjoy parenting and even consider having a second.
But humans are different from animals and need to take into account the limitations of the rules. The number of children people raise is limited by the rules of different periods. Surprisingly, after the three-child policy was liberalized, the old slogan of the family planning period was rekindled.
Many parents and seniors still remember the family planning period vividly. At that time, many families still adhered to the concept of "more children, more blessings".
However, it is well understood that the material and educational resources of the time could not meet so many needs. Therefore, it is necessary to guide parents and the elderly to agree with the concept of eugenics. Let's take a look at some typical slogans.
"Giving birth in accordance with the law and raising responsibly". As a parent, if you want to cultivate talents with good moral character and knowledge, you need to make great efforts.
If the parents themselves are not qualified, or even lack sufficient responsibility, it will be a drag on the future of the whole family and children. It is absolutely necessary to guide parents to improve their sense of responsibility.
"Medal of Honor, Family Planning Encouragement" was the propaganda slogan of that era. In order to promote this policy, some places will also award "honor certificates". Since most parents had very limited financial conditions at the time, they began to reduce their worries about having children in their later years, so as not to "become poorer and poorer".
It's a real problem, and many parents at the time only see their children as labor, not realizing that students will continue to struggle if they don't receive enough support and nurturing in difficult circumstances.
At that time, primary and secondary schools also charged tuition, and for ordinary families, the only way out was to train their children to be admitted to university. Feeding an only child to school may have a better future than supporting multiple children.
"Many children are difficult to raise" is inelegant to hear, but it is intriguing. Parents have limited ability and energy, and educating their children is not the same as herding sheep, "one is also in charge, and two are also in charge", underestimating the responsibility of cultivating the next generation.
Seeing those slogans at that time, many netizens lamented their authenticity. In particular, "many children are difficult to raise", only those who have come can deeply understand the reality.
At that time, the concept was based on the average level of the majority of families, which contributed to the recognition and advocacy of the concept of "eugenics". For a long time, many parents were not clear about the concept of "parental responsibility".
Parents have children for a variety of purposes, including to provide for their old age, to turn their fortunes around with their offspring, to maintain marital stability, or even simply to keep in line with others. Therefore, the concept of the responsibility of parents to educate their children and provide resources at that time seemed extremely avant-garde and appropriate.
Even now, this perception still exists in many families. Especially for the average working family, the advantages they can offer their children are not very obvious.
Although tuition fees for elementary and junior high schools are free, and the cost of public high schools and universities is not too high, the actual cost of training is not low. Modern parents have experienced periods of material deprivation and lack of parental care, so they want to give the next generation a better environment.
From this point of view, it is reasonable for many young parents to carefully consider having a second child when considering the future of the "eldest". Of course, with the improvement of people's general economic conditions and the liberalization of policies, some families do have the ability to have children.
The following families are more suitable to raise a second or third child, which is a sign of responsibility for future children.
No matter how many children you have, the first principle should be to be responsible for yourself and your offspring, not to make rash choices. However, in reality, these families may be better suited to having multiple children.
First of all, there are families with a lot of financial well-off, because poor couples inevitably have many hardships in their lives. Relatively affluent families can provide good security for children, which is also an important source of self-confidence and stability.
The second is the family that is engaged in the work of public institutions or central enterprises. Although the income of such parents may not be high, they at least have stable job security. The flexibility of working hours and the ability to spend more time with children are a valuable advantage.
In addition, parents with correct values and positive and sunny personalities. They find pleasure even in ordinary occupations, they are not influenced by outside eyes, and they do not judge their children solely on achievement and income.
Such parents may not have many special talents in the worldly sense, but they have another kind of wisdom. It is believed that the children they educate will have the qualities of principle and adaptability.
