He did not have children with Diane Keaton, Jill Clayburgh, Tuesday Weld, Marthe Keller, Veruschka von Lehndorff, Kathleen Quinlan, Lyndall Hobbs, Penelope Ann Miller, or with Argentine actress Lucila Polak, with whom he dated for 10 years from 2008 to 2018.

Let's Write!: Considering Al Pacino's experience of fatherhood at different stages of his life, how do you think the age of a parent influences their parenting style and the experiences of their children?

Al Pacino's experience with fatherhood across different life stages provides an interesting study of how age impacts parenting style. Younger parents might be more energetic but less experienced, while older parents bring wisdom, patience, and financial stability, but may struggle with physical limitations and generational gaps.

Colocho J 6B

Experience lives would bring the patience to others and they should learn ways by going through with the bad learning the hard way to be honest.

Luster J 3A

I agree and have personally experienced having older parents and they don't really have enough energy or time to go out and do fun things. But younger parents can spend that time running around

Williams J

I think that AI Pacino's is to help Younger parents might be more energetic but less experienced, while older parents bring wisdom, patience, and financial stability, but may struggle with physical limitations and generational gaps.

Nathan Torres

12/5/2024 02:07:57 pm

I agree the younger the more energetic you are, but the younger the less financially stable you are to be. Young parents can offer more energy to provide playtime with their kid, but unlike the old parent they could provide the kid with wisdom and financial stability.

Tobias A. 3A

12/5/2024 02:13:28 pm

I agree, because younger parents do have less experience than older parents. Older parents lived a longer life than younger parents. They also know more about financial stability and etc.

Johnson C 8B

12/6/2024 03:15:51 pm

I agree the younger the more energetic you are, but the younger the less financially stable you are to be.

Anukem Emmanuel, 1A

I agree that younger parents have have less experience, however younger parents tend to understand their child much better and help them fit in with newer trends.

Aiyanyo E 3A

12/9/2024 12:01:11 am

I agree, while being experienced and knowledgeable on this world is a nice benefit, Al will not have a enough time to spend with his child since it unlikely he will have the energy to take care of the child

Smith R. 8B

The age of a parent can change how they raise their kids and what life feels like for the family. Younger parents might have more energy to play and keep up with their kids, but they might not have as much life experience or money figured out yet. Also, some parents may treat their relationship with their kids as a friendship rather than being a parent, for example, some parents may approve of inappropriate behavior because they rather act like their kid’s friends than to take a role of authority. Older parents usually know more about life and have steady jobs, which can make kids feel safe, but they might not always understand new trends, struggles, or have as much energy to do active things. Big age differences can be good because kids might get lots of advice or feel really close to their parents, but it can also be difficult to understand each other.

Bronson M, 3A

12/5/2024 11:08:28 am

I agree, the age of a parent changes how they raise their kids. Younger parents have energy but some don't have the money, know what they're doing, and have overall stability. Some younger parents grow up with their kids so they may act as more of a friend then a parent. Older parents may not understand the new gen z but can give great advice. Older parents have vast knowledge than a younger parent.

Gonzalez J.4A

12/5/2024 03:39:29 pm

My response is that your analysis of how a parent's age can influence parenting is very thorough and accurate. You correctly highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of being a young parent versus an older parent, and you also mentioned the importance of finding a balance between authority and friendship in the parent-child relationship.

Luster J 3A

12/6/2024 09:25:59 am

I didn't even think about how younger parents can treat their relationship with their kids more like a friendship but I completely agree with it older parents tend to not be able to bond and find similarity's as much as younger parents can

Presas A 6B

12/6/2024 09:31:20 am

A very interesting perspective I think your right that age can influence parenting styles in many ways. Younger parents might bring energy and have a fun vibe, while older parents often bring experience and stability. It's cool how you pointed out that the relationship between kids and parents can vary based on these factors.

Malvaez M.1A

12/6/2024 01:46:17 pm

Although new generational parents do put effort into considering what or how their child feels, they lack a lot of knowledge from parenting as compared to older experienced parents. Downside to Older experienced parents is that they do lack the knowledge of today's newer lifestyles and struggle to adjust unlike the newer generational parents who are well adapted to this new lifestyle.

Johnson C 8B

12/6/2024 03:16:18 pm

Some younger parents grow up with their kids so they may act as more of a friend then a parent. Older parents may not understand the new gen z but can give great advice. Older parents have vast knowledge than a younger parent.

Anukem Emmanuel, 1A

12/6/2024 07:31:29 pm

This is pretty much what I had in mind. Older parents are a lot more experienced and obviously will have life more figured out. Younger parents tend to still be learning about themselves and life in general and would still need to learn about being more of a parental figure. This doesn’t change the fact that younger parents are still gonna understand more about their child’s predicament than an older one.

Garcia M 3A

12/4/2024 09:14:54 pm

the age of a parent can significantly influence parenting style, with younger parents often bringing energy and adaptability, while older parents may provide stability and wisdom. This dynamic shapes children's experiences. For example, older parents can offer financial security and life lessons, while younger parents might foster creativity and a spirited approach to challenges .

Bronson M, 3A

12/5/2024 11:03:10 am

I agree, the age of a parent impacts the way a child grows up. Older parents have more experience so they have more wisdom on how to raise a child.Younger parents bring more energy and engage in more activities with their children.

Williams Z.6B

12/6/2024 01:06:01 pm

I don"t agree with Bronson M, because some older parent might have a lot of experience because I know one of my family members she got kids and she 50 years old and she do coke everyday and one her kids living pay check by the state

Lara, S 8B

12/5/2024 01:54:21 pm

The age gap between will significantly influence the experiences for the child, also influence how he learns and how to think. Since Al Pacino is older the child will experience a lot of wisdom life lessons that other kid may not know from having an older father.

Nathan Torres

12/5/2024 02:11:50 pm

I agree with this since the first child/oldest will face the most challenges at life and with those challenges he gains a lot of knowledge. With that he gets to teach his siblings about his previous mistakes.

Colocho J 6B

12/5/2024 06:13:17 pm

Yes, agreeale because people as parents teach their children ways to be put and how to go through life in a good way.

Palacios R 1A

12/5/2024 11:09:16 pm

Becoming a father for the fourth time at such an age especially while being single shows his enduring lifestyle for new experiences.

Salgado M, 1A

12/5/2024 08:57:23 am

The age of a parent can significantly impact chidren. One way would be by the parent growing up in a drastically different time than their kids, leading to them going off of what they know and what they were taught. In Pacinos case, him having multiple children over may different parts of his life could lead him and his kids to a different route from each other. Pacino could potenially feel as if he may have failed or made many big mistakes when it came to raising one of his kids, then feel as if he can fix it for his next one. Since he's older now, his physical role in parenthood will be massively different depending on the kid. He may not be able to do as much physical stuff and playing with his kids now compared to back then, so it'll likely be mostly verbal whereas his previous kids may have had more of a bond with more movement.

Galvez J, 3A

12/5/2024 02:00:50 pm

Pacino's way of raising his child will be drastically different. As when he was younger he was more active, but he was also less wealthy. His new child might be able to get more things as gifts from Pacino, but will not be able to do more active activities as he would like.

Lopez M 1A

12/6/2024 10:46:10 am

Whenever someone has a kid in their early 20s then later in their mid 30s you can tell the differences in the way they were raised throughout their parents different stages. The older kid may seem more mature and independent since their parents were still new to parenthood while the younger kid will rely on their parents more since they have have fixed their mistake and know what not to do.

Teniente J. 1A

12/5/2024 09:04:32 am

The age of a parent can significantly change the way they teach their parenting style onto the child, depending how old they are. The younger parents are able to understand there child way more than being older which makes them have more energy to be with the kid way more, but lack the experience, and wisdom to give to the child is very low. A older parent is able to give off there experience, and stability to a child, but lose much more connection to be built over period of time. The age will contradict the way a child mentally, and physical capability is form through their parents. In conclusion, the age does make a difference, but both aren't a bad thing since it can shape a person into who they want to be regardless.

Galvez J, 3A

12/5/2024 01:51:14 pm

Parents who are younger will have a much harder time than a much older, experienced parent. A much older parent might be more financially stable than a younger parent. An older parent also has much more experience that could help their child get out of a predicament.

Sanchez A 3A

12/5/2024 02:30:19 pm

I agree that the younger parents can understand what their children are going through because they group up around the same time. The older parents do have more wisdom and experience to say and help with their children. The benefits for the older children is helping them while the other can relate and connect with the situations.

Gonzalez J.4A

12/5/2024 03:37:55 pm

My response is that your reflection on how a parent's age can influence their parenting style is very interesting. I think you have correctly identified the pros and cons of being a young parent versus an older parent, and I think what really matters is the quality of the relationship between parent and child, and the parent's willingness to learn, grow, and adapt to their child's needs.

Gonzalez D. 8B

12/5/2024 03:45:46 pm

I agree with this and the part where you mention that the wisdom and the whole energy thing, younger parents and an older parents will be completely different but while it does make a difference it doesn't exactly mean its bad.

Hayes T 8B

12/6/2024 09:11:13 am

I agree with you I think the younger the parent is the more you're able to interact with your child and understand them and the older you are the more you lose that connection with them but will be able to teach them stuff they need to know.

Gonzalez S 4A link

12/6/2024 02:47:47 pm

Yes the age of a parent does in fact make a difference in parenting a child. Your statement gives examples of the understanding on how both sides of older and younger parents are shown by experiences.

Bronson M, 3A

12/5/2024 10:42:55 am

Considering Al Pacino's experience of fatherhood at different stages of life, the age of a parent influences their parenting style by knowing what's best for their kids and experiences of their children. There are benefits of being an older parent like knowing what to do in stressful situations or when their child is sick. The challenges associated with the age gap of parents and their children is losing a parent when you're a kid and not being as active with a child.

Torres. C 3/A

12/5/2024 01:26:29 pm

The child is also more likely to either grow to be more independent, depending on how long the parent lives.

Presas A 6B

12/6/2024 09:36:13 am

I like the highlighted point that you have made of how the experience of older parents bring like knowing what to in stressful situations or when a child is sick. It's true that age can bring unique strengths and challenges.

Garcia M 3A

12/6/2024 11:41:35 am

I agree, an adults age in life will determine how they parent due to experience and life lessons that are passed on .

Anukem Emmanuel, 1A

12/5/2024 12:01:45 pm

The age of a parent determines their experience, and helps them decide decisions for what they do with their child. The benefits are that parents are more knowledgeable on life, while the challenges are that the parents could be inexperienced when it comes to current situations.

Torres. C 3/A

12/5/2024 01:31:14 pm

The parents will different be less scared and more prepared for this kids.

Tobias A. 3A

12/5/2024 02:25:24 pm

I agree, because it deos benifit that younger parents are unexperienced in some situiations. Also can decide about their decisions.

Gonzalez D. 8B

12/5/2024 03:47:17 pm

I agree with the older parents having more knowledge but not exactly being up to date with current experiences and situations which can be good and bad.

Vega F. 1A

12/5/2024 10:16:12 pm

I agree the age of the parent determines their experiences which makes them raise their child differently.

Knowles K 1A

12/13/2024 10:32:43 pm

Exactly with younger parents they can’t give you the same wisdom as a older parent would give due to the fact they haven’t seen everything to be able to tell them.

Palacios R 1A

12/5/2024 11:13:39 pm

It's a demonstration to his strength mentally and adaptability, both personally and professionally.

Garcia M 3A

12/6/2024 11:47:38 am

I agree, the age of an adult and the stage will determine how the parent is with the kids, each stage provides different experiences .

Aiyanyo E 3A

12/8/2024 11:59:22 pm

I agree, however the lack of energy and the limited time he will have with the child outweighs the benefits of his advanced age.

Torres. C 3/A

12/5/2024 01:25:00 pm

With the different stages of life the al Pacino has expierenced, it can go without saying that with this child, he will more likely pass down wisdom than memories. So more likely or not this child will be more smart than emotional. This can be seen as both a positive and a negative.

Lara, S 8B

12/5/2024 01:57:14 pm

Since people grow older that have experiences more things in life making them more wise, so the child will likely grow up wiser than most children since his father is a greater age gap than others and because the child siblings are most growing with the child is growing and learning.

Smith R. 8B

12/6/2024 02:31:27 pm

I agree, he can give his child a lot of advice once he grows older, but who is to say he will still be alive when his child is old enough to understand the advice given? Because of his age, it is not safe to assume he will be there to create memories with his child.

Galvez J, 3A

12/5/2024 01:48:16 pm

The age of a parent influences the way they treat their child as they have more experiences in life, so they could help guide you through yours. Although if your parents are on the younger side then they might not be as financially stable or have enough life experience to take care of you. Challenges that could come with a huge age difference between child and parent is that the parent might not understand why you some decisions you make such as why a child might not be as passionate about relegion as their parent is.

Nathan Torres

12/5/2024 02:16:22 pm

I agree the older the parent the more experience they have at raising their child, but it also comes with disadvantages which are becoming less energetic and not being able to provide their kids with lots of play time. The young parents might not be financially stable yes but it will be providing enough energy to it's child.

Divine Ojeh 8B

12/5/2024 03:56:28 pm

I agree older parents could lead you to long life with some knowledge, while younger parents may not be where they want to be in life and its best for parents to bond with their children.

Lara, S 8B

12/5/2024 01:49:34 pm

The age difference from Al Pacino will be hard even through Roman the newborn will have adults who can take care of anything that happens, many things change as people get older. This means that the things Roman learns while he grows up might be different from when Al Pacino grew up with learning. A lot of the time this makes conflict between children and parents but time will tell. This possible conflict could also affect Al Pacino's other child since they have already grown it may be hard to bond in a way if they had only been two years apart.

Malvaez M. 1A

12/6/2024 01:41:25 pm

This new generation is far more different than it was back then. Roman will grow up learning things for more differently than Al Pacino due to the large age gap and how many different lifestyles have changed for both Roman and Al Pacino.

Nathan Torres 3A

12/5/2024 02:04:48 pm

The age of a parent greatly affects how their children will be raised. The age for some adults also determines their maturity. A first time parent will be overly strict not by choice but because they just want to keep their child "safe". No one is expected to be a perfect parent or know how to raise a kid that's something that's learned from previous experience. That's why the parents are always strict on the first born and always the least strict with the last child. Because they know what to do now and how to act due to previous experiences.

Teniente J. 1A

12/5/2024 02:33:39 pm

The parent affects the maturity based on the experience they get. If a parent gets multiple kids born at different times, they will be taught, and act differently due to the parents experience over time which is a major effect on the kids values.

Divine Ojeh 8B

12/5/2024 03:48:17 pm

Yes, older parents will teach their children peace and intelligence, they will provide them advice that they will need in life. Younger parents would most likely try to have fun with you while also teaching you about life sometimes.

Vega F. 1A

12/5/2024 10:15:16 pm

I agree with you, parents are strict with their firstborns because they don't know how to raise a child and they want to keep them safe.

Tobias A 3A

12/5/2024 02:10:48 pm

The age of the parent can change parenting styles. Older parents might be more patient and genuine, while younger parents can be relatable. The benifits of having older parents include more living and experience, but they may aslo face health issues as their kids grow. Younger parents might connect better with their kids.

Sanchez A 3A

12/5/2024 02:33:33 pm

I agree that the older parents can be patient and genuine, but the younger parents and more relate. Although the older parents will have health issues much faster and young parents can be more active with their children.

Smith R. 8B

12/6/2024 02:33:07 pm

I agree, with older parents it may be hard for children to see their parent suffer health problems that may ultimately result in their passing. This means kids with older parents will not have as much time as those with younger parents.

Stevenson J link

12/6/2024 03:18:27 pm

Being an old parent is difficult not only for the children but also the parent. Having to deal with a young child at such an old age is hard. Not just the physically but also mentally

Sanchez A 3A

12/5/2024 02:25:14 pm

The parents age can affect the child's experience because different eras have different ways of teaching. One era can think that men should always be strong while the other can think that they should let out their emotions. The benefit of different ages is that one can have more life experience and can spread wisdom to the younger generation.

Teniente J. 1A

12/5/2024 02:29:12 pm

The age really comes into effect when a parent starts teaching kid values. It all comes from the experience that the parent has gone through. A young adult may not have gone through a lot but can relate to the kid as much while an older adult can give wisdom but cannot relate to the kid as much. Parents age comes into play in a lot of ways.

Lopez M 1A

12/6/2024 10:39:53 am

Yes if the older generation passes down their wisdom and knowledge it can help the younger generation thrive. Sometimes the older generation can benefit from learning new things from the younger generation in order to expand their knowledge even more.

Gonzalez S 4A link

12/6/2024 02:41:29 pm

Yes I agree with your statement, eras in generations are always changing throughout the years. This changes the parenting styles and views that affect a child's life.

rivera d 4a

12/6/2024 08:17:15 pm

the age of a parent can definitely affect the childs development and experiences because each generation has unique and different challenges. older parents can bring more wisdom to thr younger generations.

Cavazos N 6B

12/6/2024 09:49:24 pm

Age does play apart in how a parent raises their child, but also how the parent was raise also plays apart how they raise their child.

Gonzalez J.4A

12/5/2024 03:34:38 pm

Al Pacino's experience as a father at different stages of his life highlights the unique challenges and benefits that come with parenting at various ages. While younger parents may have more energy and flexibility, older parents like Pacino can offer a more mature and reflective perspective. However, significant age differences between parents and children can also present challenges, such as generational differences, health issues, and disparities in energy and physical ability.

Divine Ojeh 8B

12/5/2024 03:40:22 pm

A parents age influences their parenting style. Parents that are older shows more patience and a deeper understanding of life, while parents that are young may not share a more relatable experiences with their children. Older parents benefits from long life experience but as they get old they have health issues while their children mature. Kids might have a high chance of connecting with younger parents.

Gonzalez, D. 8B link

12/5/2024 03:43:11 pm

In my opinion, the age gap can impact Al Pacino's parenting style and experience both positive and negative. Positively because Al has gone through a lot because of his age and can know a lot more than a younger parent which can be really useful when coming to parenting. On the other side it can be negative because Al will not be up to date with many things going on right now that can be bad for the baby's experiences and morals since things back then are really different to what they are now.

Stevenson J 8B link

12/6/2024 03:15:35 pm

Al Pacino becoming a father will make you want to look at every aspect of your life. It is a good time to assess every aspect – what is good, what is bad, what is healthy, and what is unhealthy.

Colocho J 6B

12/5/2024 06:17:10 pm

The age of a parent can influence their parenting style and the experiences of their children in many ways. An older parent may have more financial stability and life experience. The impact of a parent's age on their parenting style and their children's experiences is complex and depends on a variety of factors to life. There is no right or wrong answer because every family is unique.

Vega F. 1A

12/5/2024 10:13:21 pm

Age really influences how you raise a child, when young parents are raising a child they tend not to know what they are doing because everything is new to them, and when you have older parents, they have more experience with life and they don't raise them as harshly as they would if they were younger because they see life in a different way.

Hayes T 8B

12/6/2024 09:04:15 am

I agree with you I feel like younger parents don't have an idea what to do because they are so new to it but older parents have more experience and know how to control their kids.

Rodriguez R. 4A

12/6/2024 03:23:10 pm

I agree, younger parents will have less experience than an order parent.

Knowles K 1A

12/13/2024 10:34:48 pm

Younger parents are also at a disadvantage due to the fact that they still have to figure out what they want to be and still trying to figure out who they are while trying to raise a kid

rivera d 4a

12/6/2024 08:14:55 pm

i agree with you. older parents do bring more experience and a different perspective on parenting.

Cavazos N 6B

12/6/2024 09:44:54 pm

I agree that younger parents tend to not know what they are doing and because of that they are more likely to be less strict to their kids.

Gomez D 1A

12/6/2024 09:56:27 pm

I totally agree with this like age really does have a big part when having kids like your maturity level and also your patience you would have for your kids

Tomas Ruiz 6B

12/6/2024 10:56:17 pm

I also agree with this, considering I have seen this happen where a young parent will not know how to take care of a child due to their inexperience, like my 21 year old cousin, she's a mom of a one month old, and I already heard some gossip on how she's not really the best at parenting, but she's working on it.

Palacios R 1A

12/5/2024 11:13:11 pm

Older parents have a different perspective on parenting, having more time to observe and reflect on different parenting approaches. They may be more relaxed and confident in their parenting decisions. Younger parents might be more adaptable and open to new parenting techniques for what may work.

Echeverria D 6B

12/6/2024 11:55:03 am

On the other hand, younger parents might be more adaptable and eager to try out new parenting techniques, staying current with evolving trends and methods. Both perspectives offer valuable insights and benefits, contributing to diverse and enriched parenting styles.

The age of a parent can influence their parenting because if they become a parent at a very young age they are more energetic and don't know nothing about parenting but if they are older parents they are more likely to be more tired but wise about parenting. The age difference between parents can be challenging because older parents might adopt a more traditional or conservative approach, while younger parents may lean towards modern or progressive methods.

This brings on a whole new pool of problems for the kid, like not having a father figure and missing out on crucial moments. A benefit that could come from this is that his dad has already had his time to establish himself in his job and have a proper home. So the child will have good financial support, but it won't mean anything if he's alone.

The age of Al Pacino will deeply affect the parenting style he has and the experiences of a child. With him being so old he won't have the energy to do fun things with his kid like most people do with their kid. It will cause the relationship to not grow and be able to bond if they cant spend time together. There's also a risk of the dad passing before the kid is old enough to remember him. This brings on a whole new pool of problems for the kid like not having a father figure, and missing out on crucial moments. A benefit that could come from this is that his dad has already had his time to establish himself in his job and have a proper home.

I agree with you because Al Pacino age is very big and he wont be able to bond with his kid as much as he would like to because maybe he just wont have the energy to do as many activities as like when he was younger

Salazar J. 1A

12/6/2024 10:40:09 pm

I agree, it will be hard for him to create a bond with his child. Although he is stable, the bond he creates with their kid could leave an impact wether its positive or negative.

Parenthood is a transformation experience that can vary significantly depending on the age of the parent. Al Pacino's journey as a father at different stages of his life provides a unique perspective on how age influences parenting styles and the experiences of children.This will explore the impact of parenting styles the benefits and challenges of significant age differences between parents and their children, and how these factor shape family dynamics

The age of the parents can either be a good thing or a bad thing. For example if a parent is too young they might not realize the responsibilities they have and instead of trying to be an authority figure they'll end up trying to be their children's "friend". Sometimes it is a good thing because though the parent is young they'll grow as a person realize their mistakes.On the other hand with older parents they'll have wisdom and patience. It can also be a disadvantage because with age comes health issues, physical disabilities, and different beliefs.

Lopez H 4A

12/6/2024 03:12:30 pm

Yes! Many younger parents (not speaking for all) let their children walk over them because they don't want to educate and discipline them. On the other hand it is better because they might take into account more things that an older parents might not. And vice versa on the older side

Rodriguez R. 4A

12/6/2024 03:18:33 pm

I agree, as long as the younger parent puts in the effort and learns from their mistakes they will be able to grow as a parent for their child.

Echeverria D 6B

12/6/2024 11:51:58 am

In Al Pacino's case, his children are likely experiencing a blend of these dynamics. His older children may have benefited from his career stability and life experience, while his younger child might experience different challenges due to the generational gap and potential health considerations

Malvaez M. 1A

12/6/2024 01:37:07 pm

Considering Al Pacino's fatherhood at different time stamps, more experienced parents either mother or father all parent different ways and approach many of their children differently from one another.A older more experienced parent is seen as "wiser" and knows the ropes as a parent while a new generation parent may struggle more than those who are older because they have less experince and do not pocess the significant amount of knowledge in parenting compared to the older generations. Some benefits with older experienced parents is that they develop many new skills from parenting and the child will grow to learn many good informative skills from the parents. A newer generation parent can benefit because they can learn from their mistakes and fixing thoese mistakes allows for better improvement not jut for the parent but also for the child.

Alvarez J 8B

12/6/2024 02:13:58 pm

Al Pacino having a 16 month at 83 has be flabbergasted because at that age I would be waiting for my death and not wanting to care for a baby. The relationship between Mr. Pacino and his youngest will most likely be non-existent. he will most likely die before the kid even gets to preschool. How do you explain to the child that the other kids have a dad, but she doesn't because he was too old and died? The oldest children won't be able to have a sibling relationship and will most likely be a father or mother figure to their younger sibling.

Older parents are generally more patent and thoughtful in their approaches but lack energy for their children. This maturity can enhance children's social skills and emotional intelligence. Younger parents have greater energy and adapt to fostering an environment in exploration and innovation. Ultimately the age of a parent shapes not only their parenting style but also the overall development outcomes for their children.

Lopez H 4A

12/6/2024 03:06:47 pm

Exactly, most older parents may lack either the time or energy to spend on their children, and yes I very much agree that the parent and the child shape each other as time passes.

Hernandez, I 6b

12/6/2024 05:27:14 pm

I do agree with this, older parents tend to not have the energy that parents who have kids in their 20s and early 30s.

Fuentez M, 3A

12/6/2024 11:01:55 pm

Agreeing and adding on to what you say after you get older and continue to have kids , you won’t really have a bond with your children anymore because of the age gap.

Rodriguez R. 4A

12/6/2024 02:55:51 pm

The age of a parent influences their parenting style and the experiences of their children because an older parent may have more experience or knowledge than a younger parent, in order to raise their child. The benefits that are associated with significant age differences between parents and their children are individual attention and mature relationships. Then the challenges of the parents-child relationship they face are manipulative behaviors and lack of empathy.

Thompson D 8B

12/6/2024 10:24:12 pm

I agree with your points. Older parents often bring more experience, which can lead to wiser decisions and a more stable environment for their children. The individual attention and mature relationships are definitely benefits, as older parents may be more focused and patient. However, challenges like manipulative behaviors and lack of empathy can arise due to generational gaps and different life stages, which can affect how they relate to their children.

Lopez H 4A

12/6/2024 03:04:37 pm

Most younger parents can relate more to their kids and even have more energy to be able to take care of them but also since they are younger they could possibly put off some of the responsibilities of being a parent. On the other hand, older parents have more experience, they don't play around with educating and raising their kids. So most likely at first Al Pacino was stricter with his first few and slowly became relaxed as time went by. Everyone has their own teaching strategies and methods and some may work better than others.

Salazar J. 1A

12/6/2024 10:43:06 pm

I agree, the way he raised his first children could have been more strict but as time went by he became more calm. He is getting older so his energy could be low when raising his children.

Renteria R. A. 4A

12/6/2024 10:57:07 pm

I agree, Younger parents will still need more learning on how to be a a good parent. They will learn over the years more important things to teach there children.

Stevenson J 8B link

Dads are much more physically active with their children. They tickle, wrestle and throw theirs kids in the air. Moms use toys and talk to their children. Dad's style of play helps a child's physical development and coordination. He teaches limits, like when enough is enough.

Hernandez, I 6b

12/6/2024 05:26:01 pm

i agree, i dont really any times where it was my mom wrestling instead of my dad.

Frank Jimenez 6B

12/6/2024 10:29:15 pm

Its true, that younger parents my have more physical energy and be more in tune with current trends. They may also be more likely to relate to their childrens experiences and understand their perspectives.

Johnson C 8B

12/6/2024 03:16:41 pm

new generational parents do put effort into considering what or how their child feels, they lack a lot of knowledge from parenting as compared to older experienced parents.

Alvarez J 8B

12/6/2024 03:53:21 pm

I agree, the older generation of parents that have kids older is usually for selfish reasons and don't consider how the children will grow up.

Tomas Ruiz 6B

12/6/2024 10:51:51 pm

on the contrary, they could also ask their parents how to take care of their child considering they already know how to take care of one, since the parents already raised one.

Fuentez M, 3A

12/6/2024 10:59:59 pm

I agree with what you say , new generation parents tend to be more friends with their kids rather than actually be a parent figure . Unlike older parents they can be your friend yes but in the end they will always be your parent before anything.

Hernandez, I 6b

12/6/2024 05:24:36 pm

I think parenting at different ages can vary. At a young age, or to be more specific with your first child your still trying to figure things out. Trying things that do work and dont work to see where they can get better and raise a child well. As you climb in age though you may seen parents that dont care as much. You can also see the parents that are way too strict because of their past or them having other children.

rivera d 4a

Older parents might have more experience and maturity, which can lead to better life skills and financial stability. They might also be more patient and understanding, which helps in dealing with children's emotional challenges. Older parents often have a clearer understanding of their values and life goals. However, they might have less energy and stamina making it harder to keep up with young children and their activities. Theres also the worry of a shorter life span, causing anxiety about being there for their children's milestones.

Cavazos N 6B

12/6/2024 09:38:43 pm

The age of a parent influences the way they raise their children, as younger parents tend to be a lot more gentler to their children and they build a closer relationship with their children. As older parents are a lot more strict. If there is a large age gap between a parent and their children it could be a lot harder for the parent to relate to their child, same for if there is a age gap between the siblings

Gomez D 1A

12/6/2024 09:52:56 pm

The age when someone becomes a parent does affect someones parenting skills like in the way they have patience for their kids and how they treat them and the time and dedication they have for their kids so Al Pacino might have more patience for his kid now giving that he already has kids but the age difference is very drastic like he's already 83 yo with a whole baby like that would definitely affect the baby's life in so many ways because maybe he wont get a lot of time with his dad given his age

Thompson D 8B

12/6/2024 10:23:22 pm

I agree with you. As parents age, they often develop more patience and wisdom, which can be beneficial for their kids. However, a significant age gap, like in Al Pacino’s case, can definitely impact the child's experiences. His advanced age might limit the amount of time he can spend actively involved in his child's life, which could affect their bond and shared experiences as the child grows.

Renteria R. A. 4A

12/6/2024 10:55:35 pm

I agree, you will learn more things in the future if you’re a young parent.

jahlil.H 4A

i agree because older parents have more patience with there kids than younger parents because older parents have more experience and they now how to handle them more

Salazar J. 1A

12/6/2024 10:19:06 pm

The age of the parent could really have an affect of how their child is being raised. For example, when the parent is young they could have difficulty figuring out how to raise their kid. Unlike older parents, they may be more experienced or have a better understanding on how to resolve conflicts. Younger parents could find ways to relate more to their children unlike older parents who might not be able to connect with their kids due to age gaps and interests that the new generation may have.

Carmouche K 1A

12/20/2024 01:01:41 pm

Age really gives a parent experience on how to raise a kid, this is a big benefit on leading them in the right path of life as well.

Al Pacino’s experience of fatherhood at different ages shows how parenting style evolves with age. As a younger father, he may have been more focused on his career and less available. In later years, he likely brings more wisdom, patience, and stability, offering a calmer approach to parenting.
However, significant age differences can also present challenges. Older parents may have less energy for physical activities, and generational gaps might affect communication with younger children. Despite these challenges, the key to successful parenting at any age lies in understanding and adapting to a child’s needs.

Frank Jimenez6B

12/6/2024 10:26:05 pm

I agree, Al Pacino's experience of fatherhood at different ages illustrates how parenting style evolves of age. As a younger father, he was more focused on his career and less available, whereas later years he likely brought more wisdom.

The age of parent can significantly influence their parenting style and the experiences of their children. Al Pacino, becoming a father at different stages of his life, provides a unique perspective on this issue.

Tomas Ruiz 6B

12/6/2024 10:47:06 pm

so considering that parents age can influence someones parenting style, the older may be more wise and careful knowing the experience, while the more young may be a bit more negligent but equally as caring as any other parent. and how it would influence the child, not much. just as long as they care for the child and give the lad a good childhood I say they'll grow up to bright young adolescents.

Renteria R. A 4A

12/6/2024 10:53:27 pm

It’s a a good thing that Al Pacino went through different faces of being a parent. He has more knowledge now and can show his kids the things he has learned over the years.

Alarcon A 3A

12/6/2024 11:57:51 pm

I agree Al Pacino growth over the years gives him more experience as he had already had experience with parenthood allowing him to share more life lessons to his kids.

Fuentez M , 3A

The age of the parent influences them by how they will teach their children. Usally when you have more children you tend to gain experience than you did with your first child . Older parents tend to be more uptight and more strict. Younger parents are more gentle laid back because this is their first time parenting. As they grow older both the parent and the kids age gap , it can lead to difficult parenting style . As you get older and your age gap starts to be pretty large , it’s more difficult to parent , it’s more harder to bond with your children caused by the age gap .

Miles D 4A

12/6/2024 11:50:23 pm

i agree the age of when you become a parent can limit creating bonds because of how big of an age gap you will have with your child.

Carmouche K 1A

12/20/2024 12:59:14 pm

It is harder to bond with your child that is 80 years younger you, this also poses the threat of your child growing up without a parent because of health difficulties leading to death.

Miles D 4A

12/6/2024 11:47:15 pm

The age of a parent impacts thier parenting styles and the relationship they have with thier kid. parents' ability to adapt,comunicate, and build a strong bond can often create challenges and amplify benefits, regardless of age.

Alarcon A 3A

12/6/2024 11:55:21 pm

I agree that a parent’s age influences their parenting style and how they bond with their child. While age may bring difficult stuff but communication can get past these obstacles, regardless of how old someone is.

Alarcon A 3A

12/6/2024 11:52:43 pm

The age of a parent can impact their parenting style and when you have more than one children you gain more experience because you had already raised your first child and you get used to it. Although as you get older your parenting style begins to change because not every style fits every kid making it harder to get along with your kid.

Dilworth z

12/6/2024 11:59:36 pm

yes you gain more experience with having more

Dilworth Zahria

While having a child at an old age does have some advantages like wisdom and bring alive longer enough to experience the world, it does have its drawbacks like lack of energy, youthfulness to relate to the child and limited time with the child as Al Pacino will be 101 years old when the child reached 18, also known as adulthood.

Espinosa M 3A

12/13/2024 04:45:25 pm

You make a great point about older parents bringing wisdom and stability to parenting. I wonder if this could also translate into a more intentional and meaningful relationship with the child, especially since they might have fewer distractions compared to younger parents juggling various responsibilities

Esquivel. E 1A

The age of a parent influences their parenting style and experiences of their children positively. With the first child it can be challenging but as he continued to have children it might have been a more comfortable and smoother experience. With each child come new experience but in knowing what to expect from the next child comes with the first. The benefits of a significant age difference between parents and children is the maturity of the parent to take care of the child. For the challenges is the way the child would be taught, with way older parents the child may be taught way older social norms.

Espinosa M 3A

12/13/2024 04:44:54 pm

Al Pacino’s journey as a father highlights how parenting evolves with age and life experience. An older parent like Pacino might bring wisdom, patience, and stability to parenting. However, challenges such as energy levels and generational gaps in understanding can create unique hurdles. The significant age difference between him and his youngest child, Roman, could mean that while Pacino offers a seasoned perspective, the child might also face the reality of growing up with an aging parent.

At the same time, older parents might provide a sense of security and focus since their life priorities have often shifted. Younger parents, on the other hand, may relate more easily to their children’s world but could struggle with balancing parenting responsibilities alongside career growth and self-discovery. Ultimately, the impact of age on parenting depends on the individual’s adaptability and commitment.

jahlil .H 4A

12/13/2024 05:22:14 pm

younger parents might relate to their children interest and challenges and some might have be in there early stages and struggle with finance older parents- offer more stability , more emotionally mature, but they may have not as much energy to keep up with their kids like younger parents can

Knowles K 1A

12/13/2024 10:37:13 pm

The age of a parent determines a lot about their child’s future, like with the older parent they can tell you what not to do the ins and outs of how to navigate through life as opposed to the younger parent they are still trying to figure out themselves and trying to be able to provide for their child

Carmouche K 1A

12/20/2024 12:55:28 pm

The age of a parent influences their parenting style by the way they were parented, also they have been alive long enough to know what methods work better than others in parenting. They altar their experience of the child because they have lower energy and may have more health issues as compared to a younger parent.
The age difference between a parent and a child could pose many obstacles such as their experiences, a child may not be able to really be as compatible with their parent due to the fact that they grew up in different time periods that are so far apart. If this decision will impact the child in a negative way this is incredibly selfish decision.
