+2  That's right.  Your big, mature, "advanced" child unsettles the social dynamic for the younger kids.[/quote]

My end-of August redshirted boy is not the tallest or biggest in his class (he's in the middle of the pack) and is best friends with the non-redshirted boy who is almost exactly a year younger than him. They have the same sensibility and maturity level.  Kids are all different.[/quote]

My July birthday, non-red-shirted boy who is small is best friends with two very tall red-shirted boys who are a year or more older than him and one equally tall non-red-shirted October boy. The other boys are more advanced in terms of sports and really well academically but I just don't see the social problem people are talking about in terms of changing the social dynamic. I don't really see the younger kids hanging out with the younger kids or the older kids hanging out with the older kids. Parents like to make a big deal about the age difference but I would be surprised if the kids notice.[/quote]
