Just thinking how weird and wonderful it is that w Just thinking how weird and wonderful it is that we’re at the age where we can have teenagers, be pregnant, or become grandparents! I had my third child here, 3, when my older two were 11 and 9. At 44, I’m not peri yet but def dont want another baby, but hats off to those who are pregnant at my age. How about you?

Studies have indicated that first-born children of Studies have indicated that first-born children often exhibit slightly higher IQs compared to their younger siblings. For instance, research from the University of Edinburgh found that first-borns scored higher on tests assessing reading and picture vocabulary. Similarly, a study from the University of Essex revealed that first-borns are 16% more likely to excel academically than their younger siblings, with eldest daughters showing an additional 4% higher likelihood of pursuing higher education compared to first-born sons. These differences are often attributed to factors such as increased parental attention and resources allocated to first-borns, as well as their role in tutoring and guiding younger siblings, which may enhance their cognitive development. However, it’s important to note that while these studies suggest a correlation between birth order and intelligence, the differences are relatively modest and influenced by various environmental factors. #science #research #study #facts #factsdaily #siblings #firstborn #parenting #didyouknow #facts

Want to have a brainy child? Then wait until you a Want to have a brainy child? Then wait until you are over the age of 40 — if you’re a man at least. According to new U.S. research, the children of ‘older’ dads — defined as over the age of 40 — are more likely to be not just intelligent, but more focused on what interests them and less concerned about fitting in. The researchers looked at 15,000 pairs of twins and measured ‘geek-like traits’ when they were 12. Fascinating huh? Correlation doesn’t mean causation of course, there are clearly more contributing factors at play such as financial security but it’s more good news for older parents 🫶🙌. My husband and I had kids together in our late 20s, early 30s then at 40.
