[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why people do it. All the research shows that younger kids are better off in the long run starting on time. It challenges them and makes them develop a good work ethic and grit. It makes sense too if you think about it. If you have a kid who is a little on the immature side, do you want him modeling his behavior on more mature peers or less mature peers?[/quote] No, there is plenty of research showing that being the youngest is detrimental and increases risk of adhd diagnoses. [/quote] Right, but someone has to be the youngest, so when parents hold their kid back to they aren't the youngest, and they are a summer birthday, the aggregate of that over years is now people are holding their March and February birthday kids back, so they won't be the youngest. Posters in this thread say it isn't happening, or that it isn't happening for cosmetic reasons, but it is.[/quote]
