[quote=Anonymous]My husband has a late Sept. b-day. The cut-off for them was October 1. He was 4 when he started K. He has said several times that his age wasn't an issue when he was younger, but it was huge when he was in middle/high school, esp. for the "comparison to peer" type issues you cited (the last to get a driver's license was huge). Compounded to the social issues were that he was late in hitting puberty (just based on his age alone) plus being 6+ months younger than many of his peers, which is an eternity for a young teen. I have a June b-day and was one of the younger ones in my class, but not THE youngest (like my husband). While I would have liked to have been a bit older in comparison to the other kids (I always wanted a March birthday), I feel like I was okay b/c my 2 BFFs had June birthdays, as well. But there is a BIG difference in June and September. [/quote]
