To begin with the discussion I would clearly mention some crucial points which do not depend upon age rather on intellect and frame of mind. With words like "intellect" and "frame of mind" I mean to say that the right kind of environment for a child is crucial and this decision never comes with age rather how willing and eager or what kind of mind frame does a parent have decides these features.
We have heard that a stitch on time saves nine, which in this context means to have lesser age differences between a parent and child. But this could not happen in many cases, which is again a different topic. Moving back to the discussion, the age problem has always been there in our society.
Let us see a practical case where we can identify clearly why this issue generally remain, we will compare the present day scenario -
Mr. A who did his graduation in 2012 and started to work in a government sector, married at the right time at the age of 30 (which is in the year 2020). His son or daughter appeared for their 10th grade paper after 20 years which would be somewhere around 2040 or 2041. They will complete their graduation latest by 2044.
So the time difference between the father and child when they appear for their 2044 - 2012 = 32 years.
This calculation is when you have less difference between the parent and child, the difference could be more than 45 also in many cases.
With an explanation of a real case that is commonly seen in our society, let us move to the WHY part, which tries to explain the benefits of having fewer age differences.
Less age difference between a parent and child is good because the parent will be in a better condition to understand the changing dynamics of our world, they could better analyze the issue, they will be in a better frame of mind to think what is good and what is bad for their children. The power to visualize things and better interpret reality could be a life savior for their kids. We have seen how things can change in a quick time, with lesser age differences we could manage it in a better way.
With lesser age difference a parent can really be as a friend to their children, they can play, make fun, and everything a growing kid demands, the parent can fulfill them easily as they are in younger age. So, definitely the age factor is very crucial to consider which is missing in the other scenario (which is more age between parent and child).
It is the responsibility of a generation to live for their next-generation in every way possible, from the management of small things to a big issue. It is their kind of responsibility to take care of the kids are at their age of marriage. These can be best considered only if there is a lesser age differences.
Conclusion - to have a less age difference between the two generations i.e. parent and child is recommended. We have seen some critical issues and how the age factors can handle it if the differences are less. A happy life is a mixture of the right frame of mind at the right age, everything else can be then taken care of.
