A person (of) your age

Would you please tell me if these are both correct, with 'of' or w/o 'of'? I think both are correct, but it's more idiomatic to omit 'of' than to use 'of'. Am I right?

1. It is unsuitable for a person (of) your age to be still living with parents.
2. I think it's not proper for a person (of) my age to play with a teddy bear.

Thank you very much.
Peace!

Yes. Both are correct in each case. The version without "of" is more informal.
