[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] IMO, it’s not an issue at the younger ages, but in HS it is for boys. Boys typically mature more slowly than girls, and I really wouldn’t want my boy hanging out with boys his grade over a year older than he is. My parents did it with my brother, and it was a huge mistake. [/quote] I’m the poster you are quoting. In theory I can appreciate the concept that as they get older there are different considerations. I don’t see how holding a kid back controls who his friends are though. You can hold your son back and he can still end up friends with older boys. Not sure what “huge mistake” could be so it’s hard to address more but holding your son back doesn’t absolve anyone from choosing who to associate with and whatnot. And my oldest is in his second year of college so I’m not just talking about older kids hypothetically.[/quote]
