Families with many kids do less well tho statistically - boys have more behavioral problems and girls do less good in school. There is simply less time for parents to be able to give the kids individual attention. It is possible that rabbis congregation leaves enough time to give individual attention to kids.

But I bet his wife is the one who does overwhelming majority of leading kids and care. Because with standard 40 hours and 6 kids he would already be impossibly stretched.

while the argument about time/kid holds some truth, an opposing truth is that single kids often lack a sense of humility in regards to attention by others and a lack of sociability because they never really needed it.
