In this Brief Report, we study the synchronization of growing scale-free networks. An asymmetrical age-based coupling method is proposed with only one free parameter α. Although the coupling matrix is asymmetric, our coupling method could guarantee that all the eigenvalues are non-negative reals. The eigenratio R will approach 1 in the large limit of α
