[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They say boys are 6-12 months behind girls at young ages. So her son is really more like 5-11 months older than your DD.[/quote]

-- The mother of a daughter and a son

+1, also mother of daughter and son.  [/quote]

The mother of two sons.  I have one son who is a June baby - he would be a complete disaster if I held him back a year (he is on the immature side of normal).  I can't even imagine the grief he would give his teacher if I held him back a year.[/quote]
+3 another mom of a son and daughter, both summer bdays.  Boy is in a gifted program.  I would definitely be "that" mom if I had held him back, complaining about how it's not challenging enough.  Or DS would coast through ES, at least, never having to try, and turn out lazy. That would be bad, too.  I asked DS if he thinks I should've held him back; he's now in MS.  He gave me a "are you crazy" look.[/quote]

+4. Research shows there is no difference with intelligence in boys/girls.[/quote]
