[quote=Anonymous]I think the reason people are less likely to hold back girls is because in general girls tend to do extremely well in elementary school, especially if they are the compliant, rule-following type. Some boys do fine, but a lot of them really struggle with the amount of sitting and focusing. I think some of the kids on ADHD medication in elementary school are on it because school is poorly suited to their activity and focus level, and they might be able to go without meds in a different setting. So, if your daughter is good at school stuff and likely to be successful, I'd send her and it will probably go fine. If she is more squirmy and seems socially younger than her peers, I'd wait a year.[/quote]
