BIG FAMILY SIZE If someone gave you fried chicken, what do you want, one piece of chicken or a numerous one? Most probably, many of us will choose the latter because once we feel we are full, we feel contended, we feel happy. Just like the number of children we want, the more, the merrier Large family size may result to large population and large population will result to progress. We are living in an overpopulated country like China and India; however we are still different to them because we belong to the Third World Country not because of large population but of lack of education or uneducated household heads. On the other hand, once the parents and every member of the country are educated, they are more likely to get better job, they can achieve better living, we can produce large number of workers inside and outside the country, many people will get into business, many industries will grow because there are a lot of consumers and the demand of products, goods and services will increase. Having brothers and sisters develop their interpersonal intelligence, they also learn how to be friendly, taughtful, to share and to be a law abiding citizen. We are all Christian, having a large family is according to the will of God. Why dont we just follow and be guided by Him and surely we will not suffer from poverty but we will be rich with love and happiness.

BIG FAMILY SIZE

Parents always want to make the best decisions for thier children. The most essential decision they have to make is the size of thier family whether it is better for thier children to grow up in a large family or grow up in a small family.

Even if one would view having to wear hands me downs, sharing a room or a hectic household a negative thing. the truth is there are a good numbers of advantages of a large family.Through thier chores and handling responsibilities around the house they understand the real meaning of responsibility. Children learn the difference between wants and needs or to work and earn it themselves.They sorrounded with laughter, even if its ups and downs. The home of a large family is a happy place for healthy fun.

Finally,From the christian point of view, there are the words of Pope Benedict XVI in his general audience on november 2,2005. Families with many children constitute a witness of faith, courage and optimism. They give an example of generosity and confidence in god These words of Pope are time tested tradition in the church of having a large family. It is a clear experience that god blesses the generosity of the parents, giving rise to the desicion of a fullsurrender to Jesus Christ among thier children as well as desires of being also parents of large families
