[quote=Anonymous]My daughter started K last fall and is on the older side, November bday, and there is a noticeable difference in maturity level between the girls with fall bdays and the girls with summer bdays who still haven’t turned 6 yet. Not necessarily in terms of academics (although none of the summer kids are in DDs advanced reading group) but noticeable in terms of social maturity. The younger girls are babies in comparison and a couple we know do struggle more socially as a result. I am speaking about girls only because mine is a girl and her friends are girls so that’s what I see but I’m sure it’s the same for boys. This difference will likely exist until much older grades. I see a huge benefit to my daughter being on the older side. The older ones right now are looked up to in the class and are the natural leaders of the pack. I would not want to push early K. There are lots of kids in class with fall bdays so it’s not like she’ll be the only older kid.[/quote]
