阅读理解。 Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an ast inchild rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, u less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themlves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growingdemands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents' biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents,particularly fathers, "end up retiring much later." For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream. Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to rai kids. But he's also worriedthat his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he'slearned that young at heart doesn't mean young. Lately he's been taking afternoon naps (午睡)  tokeep up his energy.  "My body is aging," says Metcalf. "You can't get away from that." Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. "They worry they'll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they'll need help getting up out of tho little chairs in nurry school," says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of tho little fears there is oftena much bigger one: "that they won't be alive long enough to support and protect their child," she says.  Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had twins. "We both wanted children," says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins havegiven the couple what they desired for years, "a n of family." Kids of older dads are often smarter,happier and more sociable becau their fathers are more involved in their lives. "The dads are older, more mature," says Dr. Silber, "and more ready to focus on parenting."1.
