He's recently turned 7. I wouldn't care so much about friends being his age apart from of the fact that so much of growing up is 'age organized' if you know what I mean.
I do know what you mean, but if it's appropriate for your child, I would encourage you to step out of the expected path and find activities that work for your family.
I even asked DS to be allowed to 'play up' at a Saturday
Enrichment day organized by our state gifted association. They said 'Yes' and he had a wonderful day. Where we live, kids who are talented in sports are asked to 'play up' all the time.
Smiles,
