The impact of older children on families
With the development of society and the improvement of economic conditions, more and more women choose to have children at an advanced age. Elderly childbearing refers to the childbearing of women over 35 years old. Although the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact on women's health, it will also bring a series of special impacts on families.
1. Increased pressure on children's education
Children born at an advanced age are usually the only children in the family. Their parents are over middle age or weak. They have higher expectations and requirements for children's education and hope that children can achieve better results. Therefore, they will provide more learning opportunities and resources for children, such as coaching classes, training classes, etc. At the same time, parents' age limits their physical strength and energy, and they cannot participate in various activities with their children, which may make children face certain difficulties in social intercourse and making friends.
In addition, parents of older children pay more attention to their children's quality education. They will provide more art and music training for their children, hoping that their children can develop comprehensively in diversified education. However, it also brings greater learning pressure and time pressure to children, which may affect their physical and mental health.
2. Risk of parents' health
Older childbearing will increase the health risk of parents. When women give birth at an advanced age, they face more complications during pregnancy and delivery risks due to aging, such as hypertension, diabetes, premature delivery, etc. At the same time, the incidence of uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts will also increase.
In addition, the father's age will also have a certain impact on the child's health. Research shows that fathers who give birth at an advanced age may be associated with an increased risk of children suffering from certain genetic diseases, such as autism, mental illness, etc. This is a huge challenge for parents' physical and mental conditions and the family's economic burden.
3. Increased economic pressure
Having children at an advanced age means that parents may still be in retirement age after their children reach adulthood, which means that they need to bear more financial burden during the period when their children receive education. Education expenditure, medical expenses and living expenses are all important issues that need to be considered by older childbearing families.
In addition, the future development of older children also faces a series of economic uncertainties. The parents' pension is limited, and it is difficult to meet their children's tuition fees, study abroad and other high costs. This will bring certain challenges to the family's economic situation and children's future career development.
4. Increased pressure on family relationships
Children born at an advanced age are usually "accidents" in the middle or even late years of the family. Parents may face more physical and mental fatigue in the process of raising children, resulting in increased pressure on family relations.
At the same time, the age difference of parents will also lead to different family roles and communication methods. Parents have different health conditions and physical activity levels due to their age, which may lead to unbalanced division of labor in the family and communication difficulties.
summary
The impact of older children on families is multifaceted. The increasing pressure of children's education, the risks of parents' health, the increasing economic pressure and the increasing pressure of family relations are all problems that older childbearing families need to face. Before choosing to give birth at an advanced age, families need to fully consider their own conditions and make wise decisions. At the same time, the society should also provide more support and help to reduce the burden of elderly childbearing families.
