The physical impact of elderly childbearing on children
With the progress of society and the development of medical technology, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. Elderly childbearing refers to the childbearing of women over 35 years old. However, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on children's health.
First, having children at an advanced age will increase the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in children. With the increase of female age, the possibility of chromosomal abnormalities caused by the decrease of egg quality increases. According to medical statistics, at the age of 35, the probability of a child suffering from chromosomal abnormalities is 1 in 400, and at the age of 40, the probability will increase to 1 in 100. Chromosome abnormalities may cause children to suffer from Down syndrome and other congenital diseases, which will bring troubles to their lives.
Secondly, having children at an advanced age may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. According to research, children born at an advanced age have a higher risk of heart disease in adulthood. This may be related to the decline of the mother's blood pressure and blood sugar control ability, which affects the fetal heart development. Therefore, older children need to pay more attention to their own health and actively prevent cardiovascular diseases.
In addition, elderly childbearing may also increase the risk of children suffering from nervous system diseases. The study found that children born at an advanced age are more likely to suffer from autism, hyperactivity disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders. This may be related to the decline of egg quality when the mother is older. Nervous system diseases will have a negative impact on children's development and learning ability, which needs special attention and support.
Psychological influence of elder childbearing on children
In addition to the physical impact, childbirth at an advanced age may also have some impact on children's psychological development.
First of all, elderly childbearing often means that the family's economic conditions are relatively good. This makes children born at an advanced age may face the risk of over protection and lack of independence and autonomy. Long term overprotection may make children lack the ability to adapt to society, resulting in their lack of coping ability when facing challenges and difficulties.
Secondly, parents who give birth at an advanced age tend to have different parenting styles. Due to their high expectations of children, they may have excessive demands on children. This will bring pressure to children and affect their self-esteem and self-confidence. Therefore, parents who give birth at an advanced age need to pay attention to whether their expectations and requirements are reasonable, and give their children appropriate freedom and support.
Finally, children born at an advanced age may face the risk of losing their relatives. Due to the older parents, children may have to face the death of their parents when they grow up. This is a psychological trauma for children, which may lead to loneliness and loss of security. Therefore, parents who give birth at an advanced age need to pay attention to their own health, make relevant arrangements in advance, and give their children more emotional support.
The Influence of Old Childbearing on Children's Education
Older childbearing will also have a certain impact on children's education.
First, children born at an advanced age may face insufficient educational resources. Because their parents are older, they may lack educational ideas and methods that keep pace with the times. This may cause children to lag behind their peers in learning and lack the necessary competitiveness.
Secondly, because parents who give birth at an advanced age usually have rich life experience and knowledge reserves, they may over interfere with their children's education. This may lead to children's lack of self-development space in the process of learning and growth, affecting their creativity and independent thinking ability.
In addition, children born at an advanced age may face social difficulties in school. Due to the large age difference, they may have a generation gap with their peers, and it is difficult for them to integrate into the collective, resulting in a sense of loneliness and isolation. Therefore, parents need to pay attention to their children's social needs and help them establish good interpersonal relationships.
The influence of elder childbearing on children's future
Older childbearing will have a certain impact on the future of children.
First of all, children born at an advanced age may face the risk of premature death of their parents, leading them to face more challenges and responsibilities in the future. This may have a negative impact on their career development and life planning.
Secondly, children born at an advanced age may need to take care of their elderly parents when they grow up. Because parents are older, they may need more care and support after their children enter the society. This may have a certain impact on children's personal life and professional development.
In addition, children born at an advanced age may feel special and different because of their own way of birth. They may face challenges and prejudices from their environment and peers, which will affect their personality development and self-confidence.
Summary
In general, the impact of elderly childbearing on children is multifaceted. On the physical side, elderly childbearing may increase the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, cardiovascular diseases and nervous system diseases. In terms of psychology, childbearing at an advanced age may lead to children's lack of autonomy, over protection and excessive demands. In terms of education, elder childbearing may limit children's educational resources and development space. In the future, older childbearing may lead to more challenges and responsibilities for children, as well as special identity problems. Therefore, parents who give birth at an advanced age need more attention and support to help their children grow up healthily.
