Question

Which characteristic is common among children who have older parents?

lower birth weight
higher social skills
greater average height
less access to preschool

Answer 1

Higher social skills.

Children of older parents tend to benefit from greater parental maturity, education, income and more stimulating, stable home environments, which are linked to better social and cognitive development. (Older parental age can carry some medical risks, but greater social skills is the common developmental characteristic.)
