In November, 2015, China ended its one-child policy（政策）which started in the 1970s, and nowevery family can have two children. But what would be like growing up with a brother or a sister?

Most people see the good side of the policy. Children want to have brothers or sisters because there is someone else to play with. They can talk about interesting things and share their own stories with each other.

However, some parents worry that it will put a lot of pressure（压力）on food, education and jobs when they have the second kid. In fact,there is no need to worry. The US psychologist（心理学家）Kevin Leman said that the first child really wants to succeed. When the family has a second child, they are more relaxed. So the second kid is usually funny and creative.
