[quote=Anonymous]I strongly recommend that you not push your child forward, especially if they are socially awkward. It is such a huge advantage for a kid to be on the older side rather than the youngest in their class. We have a son who we knew from an early age was extremely gifted, but was immature and disorganized. He is a November birthday and we chose to affirmatively hold him back. He was always going to be among the smartest in his class, but allowing him to grow up gave him a chance to address other issues that are common with these type of kids including being disorganized, learning how to make friends, and especially not being the obvious target for being picked on. It worked out extremely well for him and he is very successful academically and doing well socially. I think that the emotional growth of a child is just as important as the academic growth.[/quote]
