Little Emperors

Did you know that the name “Little Emperors” was given to only children created by the “only child” law in China. That law has now been lifted, but  some believe it has created a group of children that fall into the negative stereotypes of only children. In America, studies show that only children turn out just as great and well rounded as children with siblings.

When I was a teacher I had a picture that my husband sketched of me with a loose twirly bun in my hair, flower and my head turned sideways with a portion of my back showing. Someone wanted to cause trouble and complained so I was asked to take it down, even though my account was private…which lead me to believe it was a relative ( i know right?! ) Anyway, as i was so upset and embarrassed and shocked too, my good friend said, “Everybody got a back”

So, I always remember that saying…in that, we are all the same when it comes down to it!  Only children or 20 siblings…
