The Journey to Old Childbearing
In modern society, with the increase of people's pursuit of career and life pressure, many couples choose to give birth later, that is, they do not give birth until they are over 30 years old. Although this phenomenon is becoming more and more common in society, the impact of late childbearing on children's growth deserves further discussion. This article will elaborate the influence of late childbearing on children's growth from four aspects: children's physical health, psychological development, family relations and family stability.
1、 Physical health impact
On the one hand, late childbirth tends to increase the risk of diseases at birth. With the growth of women's age, the egg quality gradually declines, which is easy to lead to chromosome abnormalities or gene mutations and other problems, thus increasing the probability of neonatal disease.
On the other hand, late childbearing also means that parents' physical conditions after the birth of children are not as good as when they were young. They may face more health problems, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which will have a certain negative impact on children's care and companionship and limit their opportunities to grow together with children.
In addition, late childbearing will also make children more likely to face some adversity in life, such as parents' diseases or long-term upbringing, which will affect their healthy development to a certain extent.
2、 Psychological development impact
Late childbearing may also have an impact on children's psychological development. First, late childbearing means that children may face higher expectations. As parents spend more time and energy on their career, they often expect their children to become excellent talents, which brings greater psychological pressure to their children.
In addition, late childbearing may also affect family structure, for example, children may become the only child in their own family. This single family structure may make them lack the emotional and social support of their brothers and sisters, which has a certain negative impact on their psychological development.
At the same time, late childbearing parents may be older, and the generation gap with their children will be more obvious. Parents may not know as well as young parents about new technology and popular culture, which will make it difficult to communicate with children, thus affecting their psychological development.
3、 Family relationship impact
Late childbearing may also have an impact on family relations. On the one hand, late childbearing means that couples spend a relatively short time together, experience the ups and downs and changes of life in a short period of time, and are prone to stress and tension in the relationship between husband and wife, which will have a certain impact on the children's family environment.
On the other hand, late childbearing often requires couples to give up their personal freedom and development space and invest more energy in the process of child rearing and education. This is likely to lead to the lack of enough time and energy between couples to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, which has a certain negative impact on family relations.
In addition, late childbearing may also destroy the original family planning, such as causing the interruption or adjustment of husband and wife's career planning, which will bring further problems and pressure to the family relationship.
4、 Family stability impact
Late childbearing may also have an impact on family stability. Because the parents who give birth late may be in the climbing stage of their careers, their work pressure and instability are high. This may cause parents to often face problems such as job change, job transfer or training, which will reduce the stability of the family.
In addition, late childbearing parents may also need to take on more family responsibilities, such as caring for elderly parents or handling family finances, which will also increase the burden and instability of the family.
Therefore, the impact of late childbearing on children's growth includes physical health, psychological development, family relations and family stability. Although late childbearing has certain risks and challenges, as long as parents can reasonably arrange time, pay attention to children's needs, and provide a stable family environment, late childbearing children can still get good growth and development.
