Alex: in all things, moderation. Having only one child, IMHO, is almost as bad for the child as having 10.

I think 2-6 children is probably the range that best balances the benefits of having siblings with the benefits of having the attention of their parents. Of course there is no one-size-fits-all answer to family size. But I think we're all capable of recognizing that in every bell curve there are extremes which are, well, extreme.
