Every stage (not just the 4/5/6 yo) difference matters - puberty, driving, etc.  It was best said to me do you want your 17 yo making a decision to get into a car with their friend who was drinking. Life decisions and maturity level are made during your teenage years.  A little extra maturity will hopefully help out.

I also have an Aug birthday DS and we're sending him on time.  I have heard this argument about maturity WRt driving, drinking, etc.  but not sure what people mean.

My kid wil turn 17 when he turns 17.  He can't drive before that whether he's a senior in HS or a junior in HS.  It's based on grade not age.  Are you assuming that if your child is the oldest in the class he will be more mature than his friends?  What about having friends in different grades?  In HS, I had friends from grades above and below me from being involved in drama and band.  So, when I was a sophomore, I had senior friends that could drive already anyway.

I don't really think that redshirting ensure that your kid will be more 'mature' and make more 'mature' decisions regarding drinking/driving/sex.  But that's totally just my opinion!  [/quote]
