I've written before about the fact that children dop not all mature at the same rate or in the same developmental sequences. https://wisdomofhands.blogspot.com/2011/10/children-are-not-clockwork.htmlDoug Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003845322415622289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-70852291090640440442019-09-14T08:38:02.948-05:002019-09-14T08:38:02.948-05:00About the age.

Here in Belgium, the oldest might be born the 1st of January preceding the start of primary school (beginning of September) while the youngest might only reach 6 years the following 31st of December. And we don't speak of children who have to repeat that first class.<br />Just for the sake of rigor and without affecting the conclusions, if the oldest is 20% older (6/5), the youngest is just under 17% younger (5/6).<br />By the way, when advertisers compare prices, they always choose the good comparison. Decoding advertising is also something to explain to children.<br />SylvainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
