The Influence of Older Childbearing on Children's Emotion and Behavior
With the development of society and the improvement of economic conditions, more and more couples choose to marry later and have children later. However, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on children's emotion and behavior. This article will elaborate on the characteristics of the elderly childbearing on children's emotion and behavior from four aspects: physiology, psychology, social environment and family education.
Physiological effects
Pregnant women who give birth at an advanced age may face higher risks, such as premature delivery, low weight infants, etc. These physiological factors may affect children's emotions and behaviors. Premature infants may have emotional instability and behavioral problems due to their immature physiological development. Low weight infants may be at risk of delayed growth and development, which may also cause them to differ from their peers in emotion and behavior.
In addition, older pregnant women may suffer more stress and anxiety during pregnancy. These negative emotions may affect the development of children through fetal education. Therefore, physiological factors are an important aspect of the impact of elderly childbearing on children's emotion and behavior.
Psychological influence
For couples who have given birth at an advanced age, they tend to have a more mature and stable mentality. This mentality may be passed on to children, making them more calm and rational, and also better able to deal with emotional and behavioral problems. In contrast, young parents may be less experienced and mature, and their influence on children's emotions and behaviors may be more uncertain and volatile.
However, couples who give birth at an advanced age may face more pressure and anxiety, and these psychological problems may have a negative impact on children's emotions and behaviors. For example, anxious parents may pay too much attention to the safety and growth of their children, resulting in their children's lack of independence and self-confidence.
Social environmental impact
Families with older children often have better economic conditions and social status. The impact of this social environment may make children behave more positively and well in emotion and behavior. They can usually get better educational resources and family support, have greater opportunities to participate in various interest classes and social activities, and have a positive effect on the development of social skills and emotional management ability.
However, the impact of the social environment will also bring some problems. For example, families with older children may pay more attention to their children's achievements, overemphasize competition and success, and bring pressure to their children. In addition, couples who give birth at an advanced age may be relatively lack of communication with peers, which leads to certain difficulties in children's interpersonal communication.
Impact of family education
Couples who give birth at an advanced age usually have a more mature and stable concept of family education. They pay more attention to children's education and training, and are more willing to spend time and energy interacting with children. The positive impact of family education can improve children's emotional management ability and behavior.
However, couples who give birth at an advanced age may face more pressure and negative emotions, which may affect their educational methods and attitudes towards their children. For example, anxious parents may over protect their children and limit their actions and free development. In contrast, young parents may be more open and inclusive, and pay more attention to their children's personality development.
Summary
The influence of elder childbearing on children's emotion and behavior has the characteristics of physiology, psychology, social environment and family education. Although there may be some physiological risks, a more mature and stable attitude can help to deal with children's emotional and behavioral problems. The impact of social environment and family education can also be positive or negative. Therefore, in families with older children, attention should be paid to strengthening children's emotional management and behavior training, providing a good family and social environment, and paying attention to parents' mental health and educational concepts. Only by comprehensively considering the above factors can we bring up healthy, active and independent children.
