enjoy better health and have more rights than those of previous generations

- Greater financial and emotional investment is given to the child→give them
a better life than the life that they had

- Statistics on higher living standards and smaller family size→5.7 births per
woman in the 1860s to 1.83 in 2014)→provide for children’s needs properly
