Introduction

The Topic I decided on is the socialization of children with no siblings versus the socialization of children with multiple siblings. The first question i had was is there a big difference in which children with siblings and children without siblings mature with their socialization? I investigated whether or not the more siblings you have affects your ability to socialize as you mature. I feel it is important to examine this issue because people are not aware how many children they have can affect how there child socializes with others.

They could put surveys online, everywhere and they could get thousands of people to do tell them there difficulties socializing and whether they are there or not. It could change society because people could like i said early have all information to make a completely conscious decision on whether or not to have multiple children or not. This data could be used by psychologist in telling them how and why people have the the issues they have emotionally. My results imply that life for children with no siblings is harder. They have trouble socializing due to the lack of practice at home. 1
