You often hear parents rushing to move to the suburbs in hopes to keep their child in a less chaotic environment. But there are many children who thrive in a city and plenty of benefits that outweigh suburbia. Your child will be exposed to more people, cultures and ways of life. There are better educational opportunities in a big city. And the diversity will be stimulus for their creative and social sides. Big cities grow large due to the great opportunities found in them. This is as true for a childhood as it is for adults.
