We are concerned that this will hold back her development since 12 months or even 6 months different at this young age is a huge difference in development. Does anyone know a way we can get her into classes in which she will be among the youngest rather than oldest child in the class? We're in Highlands Ranch, CO and new to this or any other such forum.
It’s a positive in many ways as well!
Myself and both my children fall in the same age category as your daughter.
I think it helps with self confidence and leadership skills... as a kid being older is always the brass ring
