Influence of very old childbearing on children
With the development of society and the improvement of medical conditions, more and more women choose to postpone the childbearing age. However, the impact of very old childbearing (usually over 35 years old) on children has attracted much attention. This article will elaborate on the impact of ultra old childbearing on children from four aspects: physical health, intellectual development, social ability and parent-child relationship.
1、 Good health
Mothers who have given birth at an advanced age face some challenges in terms of physical health. The first is the increased risk of complications during pregnancy. Higher age increases the incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension, diabetes and other diseases, which pose potential risks to mothers and fetuses. Secondly, with the increase of age, female ovarian function gradually declines, and ovarian reserve decreases, leading to the decline of fertility, thus increasing the possibility of infertility. Finally, the older the pregnant woman, the higher the risk of obstetric complications such as anemia during pregnancy and placenta previa.
However, it is worth mentioning that the risk of complications can be effectively reduced and the safety of fetuses and mothers can be improved through fine management and individualized care of the ultra elderly birth under scientific medical conditions.
2、 Intellectual development
The intellectual development of children born at an extremely old age may be affected to some extent. Research shows that the increase in the age of pregnant women is negatively related to the development of children's intelligence. Higher age tends to increase the possibility of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos and fetuses, for example, the probability of Down syndrome will increase significantly with age. These chromosomal abnormalities may have a lasting adverse effect on children's intellectual development.
However, it needs to be emphasized that intellectual development depends not only on genetic factors, but also on family environment and education. Therefore, as a child born at an extremely old age, if effective early education is obtained in the early stage and the family gives good care and education, intellectual development will have considerable potential.
3、 Social skills
Children born at an advanced age may have some challenges in social skills. On the one hand, older parents usually have higher economic strength and family stability, and children often can enjoy better material conditions and educational resources. This advantage may contribute to the development of children's social skills. On the other hand, due to the large age gap between children and their peers, children may encounter difficulties in social interaction and find suitable partners.
However, the cultivation of social competence requires not only the support of families, but also the joint efforts of schools and society. As long as children are given appropriate opportunities to participate in various social activities and cultivate their sense of cooperation and team spirit, children born at an extremely old age can also have good social skills.
4、 Parent-child relationship
Over age childbearing also has certain influence on parent-child relationship. When the child was born, the parents were over middle age, and there was a big age gap, which may be some differences in personality, interests, etc. This difference may affect the way parents and children get along and conflict between them. At the same time, because of their older age, parents may have some defects in physical strength and energy in the process of their children's growth, and cannot meet their children's needs in all aspects.
However, the establishment and development of parent-child relationship need the care and companionship of parents, and age is not the decisive factor. As long as there is enough care and understanding, parents who have given birth at an extremely old age can also establish a good parent-child relationship.
Summary
The impact of ultra old childbearing on children is mainly reflected in four aspects: physical health, intellectual development, social ability and parent-child relationship. Although there are some potential health risks and development challenges in ultra old childbearing, management and nursing under scientific medical conditions can effectively reduce the risks. In addition, good family environment, educational resources and social support also play an important role in children's development. Therefore, children born at an extremely old age also have the opportunity to enjoy a happy childhood and healthy growth.
