[quote=Anonymous]Do not hold her back. I think that academic development is much more pertinent to this decision. My dear sister was a year and half younger than everyone else, and though small for her age (even in high school), she benefited enormously from being the youngest -- in terms of confidence, and academic development. She was admitted to Yale. My husband skipped third grade, he attended Harvard. My DC, a late fall birthday (long after his school's early September cutoff), also benefitted greatly from the confidence and challenge of always being the very youngest in their class, and is now at H/P/S/or Y. I am a firm believer in advancing academically bright children, rather than holding them back.[/quote]
