[quote=Anonymous]I'm the youngest child in my family. I was like your daughter. The thing with being the youngest is that you are always losing. Your older siblings win the games, the races, they understand jokes that you'll only understand "when you're older." They get privileges you don't get. And it's in your face, all the time. It's reasonable for a younger sibling to want to win some of the games, understand those jokes, get those privileges.

My older siblings would always be able to pull the "we're older" card, but in matters of skill I was eventually able to meet them on equal footing. I did not lose any of my childhood by working to get better at the monkey bars so I could go across as fast as my sister, or working to understand chess so I could eventually at least give my brother a run for his money.

You might want to consider if your household is particularly in-your-daughter's-face about things she can't do because of her age. But I bet she just wants to be on the same playing field as everyone else. Holding her back would do her a disservice.[/quote]
