Older mothers are less likely to scold or
punish their young children, and those
children tend to have fewer behavioral,
social and emotional problems, a new study
suggests.
According to researchers from Aarhus
University in Denmark, older moms tend to
have more stable relationships , are more
educated, and have more wealth and
resources.
“We know that people become more
mentally flexible with age, are more tolerant
of other people and thrive better emotionally
themselves,” researcher Dion Sommer said
in a university news release.
“That’s why psychological maturity may
explain why older mothers do not scold and
physically discipline their children as
much,” he added.

“This style of parenting can thereby
contribute to a positive psychosocial
environment, which affects the children’s
upbringing,” Sommer explained.
The researchers noted that these benefits
were seen in children when they were ages
7 and 11, but not when they were age 15.
In the study, the investigators looked at data
from a random sample of just over 4,700
Danish mothers. The findings showed that,
in 2015, the average age at pregnancy in
this group was about 31, which means that
most Danish children today are born when
their mother is over 30 years old.
Many experts advise women not to wait too
long to have children, due to declining
fertility and increased risk of problems such
as miscarriage, preterm birth and birth
defects.
“However, when estimating the
consequences of the rising maternal age , it’s
important to consider both the physical and
psychosocial pros and cons,” Sommer said.
The study was published recently in
the European Journal of Developmental
Psychology .

lol you aren't in d right position to spank or flog a child that's not yours. That is the duty of the parents. The only reason why you were promoted is because you acted according to best teaching practices.. And not parenting practices. They are two different things

U might just be correct there.... Parents may nid to occasionally spank a kid to drive home the point... While a teacher will have to mete out a non coporal punishment to drive home the point

wow.. At such an early age.. Its a good office if you succeed in the shortlisting . well I know being a head teacher comes with a lot of responsibilities but in this, you are going to be more like a counsellor.. An advice giver. I suggest that if you are lucky , u should demand for a secretary.
