　　　 Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child raising—older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child.
