great article, thanks for posting. I saw my dd5 in the description of girls, so this makes me feel better about continuing to consider keeping her one-year-ahead instead of going back to K in the fall.
(I also saw my ds10 in the description of the boy, hanging on the periphery of the playground thinking his own big thoughts. )
Dd does seem 'bossy', but I will keep her little leadership potential in mind next time I am see this sort of thing; Folks have mentioned how she'll make a great ceo, and I always think, yeah, or Commander of the Pacific Fleet! She is pretty hard core.
