Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school Am I one of "those" parents?

My son was a late summer baby and met the age cutoff by 2 days, so he started school two days after turning five. He was already bored with the curriculum, so I can't imagine what he'd have been like had we had to wait another year or two.

We dealt with minor issues due to the age gap when he started high school (he was just so little physically), but we never dealt with social behaviors that were due to his being younger.

You're the mom ; you know your kid. I doubt you're being one of those moms.
