[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started our late-summer kid on time at age 5. She has always been one of the youngest kids in her class and will graduate HS at 17. Grade school was harder developmentally for her, because she couldn't sit as still as the red-shirted kids, her handwriting wasn't as neat as theirs, etc.

However, these early bumps in the road taught her to work harder for everything, and how to compete for what she wants. Nothing was handed to her in grade school; she had to work hard for it and find her own self-motivation to succeed. Now she's a top HS student going head-to-head with the red-shirted kids, [b]and you can't tell she's the youngest one of all.[/b]

Starting your child on time has its benefits, too.  [/quote]

Probably because there's a much smaller difference between 17-year-old and an 18-year-old than between a 5-year-old and a 6-year-old.  (And when they're 95 and 96, respectively, in the independent living place, nobody will know the difference at all.)[/quote]
