As we move down the group in group 13 and 14 the participation of s-electrons in bond formation decreases the primary reason behind this is the inert pair effect.
In this the p-electrons take part in bond formation and more energy is required to unpack the valence electrons to make them participate in bonding. Due to this the lower oxidation state of elements becomes stable done the hire oxidation state. As for group 13, +1 oxidation state is more stable than +3 and for group 14, +2 oxidation state is more stable than +4.
