Older the father, duller the child! On the contrary, children born to older mothers are smart and active! This inference is the outcome of the study made by London researchers.
It has come to light that men above 35 years run the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, schizophrenia and dyslexia. With aging, the male sperm suffer genetic mutations resulting in above defects in children born to these parents.
According to scientists the ideal age for men to plan children is between 20 and 30 years. This concept goes well with the present trend in our youth to marry in their early / mid twenties.
In case both the spouses are professionals, though they get married early in their life, they tend postpone child birth beyond limits setting their priorities on professional career, buying apartments, cars and other luxuries.
These couple feel they would be better placed in rearing children once all the above infrastructures are built. Ironically, they are timed out in planning their families and get trapped in above genetic problems in their off springs.
We also hear a lot about broken families and divorces in childless families.
Children are the best entertainment for the parents and are the strongest cementing factor in their conjugal life.
Beget them when you are young and bring them up when your are healthy!

That is a good piece of advice . But permit me to disagree on one aspect.One should not think of marrying and begetting children until he is psychologically and financially prepared. Marrying at an early age before setting the ground for the future too would be wrong.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice. You are a wise person and understand the broad risks to the offspring of fathering babies after 34. For more information read the paternal age effect page in wikipedia.
