The conclusion, that growing up with siblings helps to develop moral character and improves mental health, is contrasted with prevailing wisdom that smaller families allows parents to invest more per child. It’s suggested that the presumed causes of deteriorating adolescent mental health (political polarization, screen proliferation, etc) do not account for the negative impact that the absence of siblings have on only children.
