[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7th grade seemed to be the year it was really clear who were the standouts. It's great that she is good in first grade but long term- it probably doesn't mean much. Girls really change in 6th/7th grade and sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad.

But the girls who were really fast in first grade are most likely to stay really fast.[/quote]

I agree with the fast kids stayed fast. You can’t tell much about how they will be as teens until after puberty. Kids who develop faster, have athletic ability and the desire to train are going to stand out more in late elementary/middle school.  It will all change from the early standouts.

My DD did not stand out in 1st at soccer, hit puberty early and was really into it and looked like she was dominating for a few years.  We were all in and were researching different club teams by later elementary school and doing travel.  By middle school she lost all motivation and quit entirely for a different sport.  [/quote]
