[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100000% I wish I could go back and hold back my August daughter. she was fine until 5th grade and then the maturity of the other girls started advancing much faster than my dd. It was a struggle through 12th grade (this year), so we are finally doing a gap year before college. [/quote] My ADHD daughter has an early September birthday, so she is one of the oldest in her class. She is 17 now and a riding senior. I definitely think it has helped, but she still has had significant challenges with friendships, keeping up with schoolwork and anxiety throughout high school. She may need a gap year as right now we are worried she is not ready for college. So, while it has helped in some ways, I wouldn’t say it has made a significant difference.[/quote]
