The ages of asteroid families are estimated by using a second order secular perturbation theory. Their ages are rather young. To explain these results we have some possible interpretations. The first interpretation is that in the theory of secular perturbation we do not include the effects of mutual perturbations of asteroids. The second is that we can regard these values as the minimum ages.
