Younger Parents VS Older Parents

The discipline care of the child as well as how the child turns out are the factors to consider when being an older and younger parent.
The discipline of a child, younger parents and older parents have to punish their child if it is necessary however older parents seems to be more stern and tight-fisted with their children; on the contrary the younger parents might just give their child a slap on the wrist. Older parents have that sort of “old school teaching method” they live by and pass on to their kids. Younger parents sometimes choose not to discipline their child the way they got disciplined because they feel as though it was too harsh and that times are different.
Younger and older parents both have that mindset of parenting as far as caring about their own offspring but there is a slight difference in the two. Younger parents tend to give their child a little bit more freedom that is really needed whereas older parents grant that freedom and space when the time is right. For example, older parents have been there done that that is why their child cannot try to get over on them. Like lying to their parents to go and sneak out to go hang out with their friends. Older parents are wiser and can help mold and watch out for their child as they become of age so they will not make the same mistakes they have made in the past; unlike a younger parent, they are still learning along with their own child. Most of the times the reason for younger parents’ timing of parenting comes late is because they have not grown up yet. They still want to go out and have fun like a young person but at the same time, they still have responsibility to pertain to. Furthermore, older parents can provide more stability because that there are probably older siblings present to help the little ones. Younger parents can substitute as that big brother and or big sister in their own children’s life; that is where some of the upcoming of their child’s problems fall into place.
Most, not all, kids who were raised with younger parents did not have that firm hand when coming up so sometimes they are immature, disrespectful, and just not doing anything with their lives because that prime example of a real adult was not present before their eyes. Older parents’ kids are usually well mannered and responsible because of that soul teaching from when they were little, which is all they know and were raised from. Also what reflects and depending on what the age of the child is when he or she grows up and start to have their own family, they usually pass on what they were taught. For instance, saying “yes ma’am and yes sir” to every adult you speak to and to treat any and every adult as if you would treat your own mother and father.
To conclude, younger and older parents are very common these days, and the way they raise their children affect them and their kids as well. From the discipline, the care of the child, to how they turn out is contrasting elements. One thing that older and younger parents do have in common is that they love their children; no matter what age the parent is. The love between the child and the parent just comes natural.
