it has nothing to do with the age, it has to do with the love and the morals of the parents. teenagers are not recommended simply because they havent had enough experiance in like to teach a child, so they will miss out and have to learn with their parents which is cruel because the mother should be able to tell the child wrong from right.

The younger the couple the more energy they have to run after the young ones. The older the couple the more they know but the less energy they have.

Inconclusive info.

It’s simply impossible to say. You have goods/bads with both.

Some might argue better finances, home, married, ect. But I had done all that by age 20…so that doesn’t hold up either. Life is what one makes of it. Some take till their 40’s to establish a life with kids and do horribly. Some establish a life with kids young and do horribly as well.

Good/bad on both ends of that spectrum.

If you look at teen pregnancy, out of wedlock, no job, ect…then it’s not a good outcome 90% of the time…but that’s just common sense.

I wouldn’t have thought it made much difference but obviously the younger you are, you’re still learning life’s lessons and have more to learn about life that say someone who is older.

Not exactly. If you bring up a child in a proper manner and teaching it will not depart from it.

Good luck

Of course it does. Younger people tend to have less patience, time and money on the other hand they usually have more energy and stubbornness. Both have endless amounts of love.

People’s priorities change as they get older but not their basic values. Young or old it’s the values you teach kids that’s important not the style in which you teach them.

So I think, yes age affects how a child is brought up in terms of parenting style but no, there is not a prime age.

Age can play a huge role. A girl at 20 years old gets pregnant and has to change her priorities, schedule and budget. From what I’ve seen of many of those parents, they generally go through the day with a work schedule, paying bills, feeding their kids, doing everything else they need to do, and then put them to bed–the kid probably isn’t getting a lot of mental stimulation, and then the kid is growing up with stressed out parents who work/go to class all day.

On the other hand, a child would benefit more from someone who has more life experience, who is probably in a more stable financial situation, or more likely is planning or ready to have a child. In that case, the parents aren’t stressing over having to work 2 jobs and are able to find the time to give their kids mental stimulation and more emotional support…

It all has to do with the parenting, but age still plays a huge factor.
