Studies show again and again being the oldest is good for kids; confidence, leadership, being the helper, etc. Reassure her you will still have time for the other activities you do with the older ones even though you will have little ones. Three of my 5 kids are within a month of the cutoff for school. They have all thrived being the oldest.
I totally agree with this! I have wtnessed this continually in my own children growing up, as well as dcks! It can most definitely be a positive!!!!
