[quote=Anonymous]We have a DD with a late June birthday. In our experience, the first half of the year through 3rd or 4th grade was difficult. We got a lot of e-mails about behavior, self-regulation, etc. Academically, she was actually above grade level and is in AAP (where the complaints seemed to die down slowly...for example this year, we only had a rough Sept. in 4th grade). The kids in DD's class were definitely older and there were many, many kids with summer birthdays and fall birthdays who were much older than DD. These kids exhibited more self-control than mine and we've had teachers all slowly realize (usually by mid-year) that DD's issues were developmental more than anything. I do think it's important to keep age based development in mind when you are thinking through the choice. [/quote]
