Interesting Grinity! I am a June birthday, and always felt like I could have been held back a year socially. But pushed ahead a year or 2 for academics. I was fine socially by high school.

My DD at 3.5 is also a June birthday, but is so much better socially than I was as a preschooler. She runs confidentally with the 5 year olds. I guess that's the beauty of a good preschool experience and having parents who run you all over town. And, of course, being the 2nd kid.

Excellent point! I'm the first born. Being 2nd born 'usually' helps tremendously with the social skills, in my observation.
