China's one-child policy, created as an effort to prevent overpopulation, was ended in 2016 after 37 years. Now, those born during the first generation of the policy are reaching middle age, and are raising their own families. Although hard work among economic prosperity has granted many of them wealthy lifestyles, their wishes for large families are accompanied by the challenge of parenting siblings with different needs than they had as only children.
