[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But at some point, as parents, aren't you worried that if your "younger" child only gets into AAP because of some "age credit" -- and then has to survive as an equal with kids who are smarter, more mature, etc. [/quote] This should be a concern. Older kids on average will do better in the beginning due to maturity, later will continue to do better due to boosted confidence. They will receive more attentions from teachers and that will also help motivate them. I remember reading a report here from a thread about the early birthdays for hockey players in Canada, same mechanism. Also, in my DC's AAP class, the top kids have Oct, Nov, and Dec birthdays.[/quote]
