[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you want your child to be a leader or follower? Being the youngest or oldest in class does have a heavy influence on their character and the traits they develop.[/quote]

That’s a huge generalization. My DD is one of the youngest, and I’ve heard from every teacher that she’s a leader in class. That’s just her personality.[/quote]

No one is talking about your daughter specifically.  It is a generalization.  Not a huge one, one that is true more
often than not.   The youngest kids in class are generally looking for cues from others: be is social, academic, behavioral..opposite for the oldest.  [/quote]

Would you rather have a leader in first grade (redshirt) or a leader in later school years (youngest)  -

There are advantages to being the youngest... [/quote]

My redshirted kid was high school valedictorian[/quote]

Getting good grades and being a leader aren’t the same thing [/quote]
