It seems everytime I speak to an educator about DD, one of the first things that comes out of everyone's mouth with out knowing my DD is something along the lines of "well...kids are so young in Kindergarten and so immature..." I think I will have a meeting in the next week with the gifted coordinator of DD's school and I want to be able to speak confidently about DD's maturity, but I have no idea how maturity is objectively assessed/measured. I think she is relatively mature for her age, but I could be totally off base. I don't have a lot of exposure to other children DD's age because we have moved a lot. Any help with tools that can help measure a child's emotional maturity would be greatly appreciated!
