[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has an early November birthday and is in her right grade. But she is one of the oldest in her class and she is developing physically (in 3rd grade). If she were in 4th grade, it would be less of a big deal. If we moved to New York, many of the schools' cut-offs are December 1 or 31 and she would be in 4th grade legitimally. I never considered pushing her ahead in NoVA. But sometimes I wish she was among the youngest rather than the oldest. [/quote] Perhaps in her case, but there are other issues to consider as well as growth--fine-motor skills, ability to sustain focus, social skills, self-confidence in new situations, etc. Sometimes the choice is tough, but in general, those extra months of developmental maturity are an asset.[/quote]
