[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We held our son back (July birthday) because he has ADHD. His preschool was completely full of boys with obvious ADHD who had summer birthdays. A good decision (and it's not because he's not smart--most ADHD kids are billiant/creative but prefrontal cortex takes longer to develop in those kids). The strong hunch about ADHD was confirmed at age 6 with official neuropsych diagnosis. But it wasn't at all surprising. It had nothing to do with intelligence or size (both off the charts). [/quote]

If you think he's smart, why didn't you have confidence in him to [b]compete [/b]against kids his own age?[/quote]

compete??  to me - school is about individual achievement - its not a competition and its sad you think it is.[/quote]

DP here. PP, your kid has ADHD and you are obviously focusing in individual achievement.  The p(PP) has neurotypical kid so you do measure your kid performance by comparing with the performance with other kids.  Isn't this how kids are measured every where?  [/quote]
