Watching DD3 this past year, a couple of observations and I would appreciate any experience and comments.
As mentioned, she is in a good Montessori and I am pleased. As a September 3 year old, she is one of the younger and made friends with 3s, as the "older" girls had relationships from last year and were cliquish. She seems to have dropped her 3 year old peers and is playing with the 4s. All of those she plays with now are moving on to K this fall. There will be 3 older kids left next year, 2 European and 1 Japanese, whose parents are keeping them there rather than putting them in K here and moving back and K again.
Many people have posted about peer relationships and sorry, I read but didn't make a solid file. Did you see behavioral issues escalate as desire for older playmates increase combined with availability restrictions?
Perhaps I should have posted a new topic but I thought it combined the above, sort of.
