The Psychological Influence of Older Childbearing on Children's Growth
With the development of society and the improvement of medical conditions, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the more and more common phenomenon of elder childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing will have a series of psychological effects on the growth of children.
First of all, the age difference between parents will cause children to have bad feelings towards their parents. As parents grow older, their physical strength and energy will decline, and their children's vitality will be out of sync with them, which will make them feel incomprehensible and lonely. They may feel that they are not valued or cared for, which may lead to inferiority complex and emotional problems.
Secondly, the education style of older parents may be different from that of younger parents, which will also have an impact on the growth of children. Older parents often pass on their views and practices on things to their children. Under the influence of traditional ideas, children may be more likely to be bound by traditional values and codes of conduct, lacking innovation ability and self-confidence.
In addition, older parents may pay more attention to the safety and health of their children. Overprotection will limit their children's autonomy and desire to explore. They may worry too much about the safety of their children, which will hinder their independent development. Such an environment often makes children become too dependent on their parents and lack the ability to think independently and solve problems.
The Physiological Influence of Older Childbearing on Children's Growth
In addition to the psychological impact, there are also some effects of elderly childbearing on children's physiology. The decline of physical function of elderly women may increase some risks at birth. For example, older women who have been pregnant for a long time may increase the negative impact on the fetus, such as the incidence of premature delivery, intrauterine growth restriction and other conditions.
In addition, older women tend to suffer from some chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These diseases will increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and adversely affect the growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, the physical recovery ability of elderly women is relatively poor, which may affect the nursing and nursing of children.
To sum up, the physiological impact of elderly childbearing on children may increase the risk of children in the embryonic and infant stages, and may also affect the feeding and care of children.
Social influence of elder childbearing on children's growth
The social impact of elderly childbearing on children is mainly reflected in family social interaction and peer group interaction.
First of all, childbearing at an advanced age means that children's parents are usually of different ages from their peers' parents, which may cause children to feel isolated in family social interaction. They may not be able to resonate with the parents of friends of the same age, resulting in estrangement and communication difficulties between family and others.
Secondly, in the same age group, children born at an advanced age may encounter some difficulties. Age differences may lead to differences in interests and psychological needs between children and peers. Children may feel difficult to communicate with peers, resulting in feelings of inferiority and emotional problems.
Therefore, the social impact of elderly childbearing on children cannot be ignored. Parents should attach importance to the cultivation of children's social ability and guide them to establish good relationships with people of different ages.
The impact of elderly childbearing on families
The impact of elderly childbearing on families is mainly reflected in economic pressure, family stability and family roles.
First of all, childbearing at an advanced age usually means that the family needs to bear the responsibility of rearing for a longer period of time. The family's economic pressure is greater, and the expenditure on childcare will also increase accordingly. The needs of children in school, education and other aspects may become a burden for families.
Secondly, elderly childbearing may lead to an increase in the affordability of family relations. Age differences, health problems, etc. will cause difficulties in communication and understanding between parents, and increase conflict and instability within the family.
In addition, elderly parents may need to adjust their family roles and take more care responsibilities. Their physical condition and energy may limit their role orientation and ability to play in the family, affecting the children's family environment.
Summary
Older childbearing has many influences on children's growth, including psychological, physical, social and family aspects. Parents who have given birth at an advanced age need to pay more attention to education methods, rearing environment and communication with children to guide their children to grow up normally. Families should pay attention to family roles and family stability, balance economic pressure and family relations, and provide children with a conducive growth environment.
