[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a few people back their tall, mature, academically and athletically gifted 5 year olds with birthdays months before the cut off. WHY? 
I know one who made the decision when her kid was one (July birthday)

Is it just so your kid has advantages socially and athletically and breezes through? [/quote]

Mine is tall, academically gifted, athletic and also incredibly immature - boy with July birthday. He's that one - the youngest, at least one head taller than everyone else, and disturbing the entire class. [b]Be thankful that we held him back, otherwise the teacher would have spent the entire time trying to get him to listen.[/b]   [/quote]

Okay, look. If you want to give your child every advantage you can, then fine. Some might actually say that that's your job as a parent. But don't act as if you were doing the entire world a favor. I don't think the on-time October-to-December born kids who are having to compete against him(someone 15-to-17 months older) are feeling very thankful. [/quote]
