[quote=Anonymous]I can’t make the decision for you, but I’m a grown woman in a set of boy/girl twins born the 3rd week of August. The cutoff where I live was 8/31, but my mom held us back because my brother had “mild delays” and was small for his age. He is still small as an adult because we have small parents. His “delays” were just being in the average, not gifted, range of intelligence and ability. Meanwhile, I was a little old for my grade, very bored in school, and always a teeny bit out of step with my grade cohort. Would it have been the same had I been sent on time? Maybe, maybe not. But if there’s a risk of twins you should consider the very real possibility that you won’t get to make a decision that works well for both of them. Also, I never got to celebrate my birthday at school and kids were always gone for my party, and while those were both minor that was definitely disappointing.[/quote]
