[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a November birthday and was the youngest in the grade. I was very bright and often bored in school (except for math, which was not my thing). It was harder for me socially, and everyone hit puberty before me, and I was always the shortest and so forth. Now, they can advance kids academically much more easily with accelerated coursework, etc, so I would focus on the social aspect. Is she going to feel out of place with sixth grade sleepover conversations? Is she interested in sports, but will be younger than the others? A lot of it is her personality. Should she be a big fish in a smaller pond, or always be trying to keep up with older kids?[/quote]

OP here.

Yes, this is my worry. She will always feel the need to catch up. I already see that she comes home and now suddenly her new favorite movie is the same as her friend she spent an evening with. Not particularly interested in sports. Has shown some interest in track but no interest otherwise. We have tried basketball/martial arts and were planning on tennis before COVID. Generally enjoys playing with her toys/imaginative play.  [/quote]
