There's something on this board that has been bothering me, and I hope I can articulate it.

I was just saying that comparisons between peers happens. Besides, I fully expect my dd to be "held back" in the 10-18 month "Waddlers" group when she turns 19 months. She is on track WRT all the gross motor milestones but she's just not as good as the other kids in the group. Maybe the class is full of some weirdo future olympians, but do I necessarily want her in the next group with all the jumpers and flippers when she's not even running yet? What's the purpose in that?

"Honestly, I just don't see academics as a competetive sport and maybe this is based on my experiences with the Swedish school system."

I must have missed that discussion.
