Influence of very old childbearing on children
Over age childbearing refers to the pregnancy and childbirth of women over 35 years old. With the development of society and the improvement of women's status, more and more women choose to conceive at a later age. However, over age childbearing may have some potential impacts on children. This article will analyze the influence of ultra old childbearing on children from physical, intellectual, social and psychological aspects.
Impact 1: potential problems of children's physique
Women who have given birth at a very old age often face more health problems. As women grow older, their physiological functions will decline, such as the decline of ovarian function and changes in hormone levels. This may lead to a higher risk of genetic diseases at birth. Research shows that children born at an extremely old age are more likely to suffer from some genetic diseases or congenital heart disease, which may have a long-term impact on their health.
In addition, children born at a very old age may have lower birth weight and higher preterm birth rate at birth. These factors may affect their growth and development, leading to more health problems. The medical department needs to conduct more frequent health examinations and interventions for these children to ensure their healthy development.
Impact 2: Challenges to intelligence and academic performance
Research shows that children born at an advanced age may face some challenges in terms of intelligence and academic performance. Because parents are older, it may affect children's genetic and brain development. This may lead to children's relatively poor cognitive ability, learning ability and memory ability.
In addition, children born at a very old age may face more academic pressure. Because parents are at the peak of their careers or have retired, they often expect their children to achieve better academic results. This may bring high expectations and pressure to children, resulting in anxiety and inferiority complex.
Impact 3: Challenge of social competence and adaptability
Children born at a very old age may face some challenges in social competence and adaptability. Because parents are older, they have less communication and social activities with parents of the same age, and children may lack experience with peers. This may cause children to feel uncomfortable in the social environment and lose some important social skills.
Moreover, children born at an extremely old age may face the problem of generation gap. Because their parents are quite different from the parents of other children in age, their family values and lifestyles may be different from those of their peers. This may make children feel confused and unable to integrate with peers.
Impact 4: potential problems of mental health
Children born at a very old age may face some potential problems of mental health. Research shows that children born at an extremely old age are more likely to have behavioral problems, emotional problems, attention deficit and other mental health disorders. This may be related to the pressure they are under and the impact of the environment.
In addition, due to the older parents, there may be health problems or premature death during the child's growth. This situation may bring psychological trauma to children, resulting in anxiety and fear. These mental health problems need professional guidance and support to help children establish good psychological quality.
Summary
The influence of ultra old childbearing on children is mainly reflected in physical, intellectual, social and psychological aspects. Children born at a very old age may face physical health problems, academic difficulties, social adaptation problems and mental health risks. Therefore, families with very old children need to provide more attention, support and professional help during their children's growth to ensure that they can grow healthily and happily.
