[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adult twin here. I was in a similar place to your daughter.  Was precocious in early elementary.  My brother was not really delayed but was a typical boy who was less ready for school.   We both went a year late.   It was fine. By high school, my brother was the stronger student.  We were also very close.  I can’t imagine being separated from him by a grade in school.  We both would have hated that.  We didn’t always hang out together, but we knew we had each others back if needed.  Being twins is not the same as being straight siblings.  [/quote]

+1  I have cousins who are twins and they had a similar dynamic. Adult boy/girl twins who were in a similar situation, please speak up. I can't imagine separating twins when one twin is not even behind but merely developmentally appropriate for his age. It will affect their special, unspoken bond with each other and affect each of them negatively from a psychological perspective. I would send them both on time, request separate classrooms, and obtain the therapy/services/tutoring/activities, etc. to support each.[/quote]
