Older children - the March and April babies - tend to perform better than younger ones in a class. At age four or five, just a few months can make a big difference in intellectual development. They do well in kindergarten, may learn to read sooner, thus are funneled into advanced courses, and voila: Executive material in the making.
在班级里,年龄较大的孩子,如3月和4月出生的孩子,往往比年龄小的孩子表现更好。在儿童四五岁的时候,就算仅有几个月的差异,智力发展水平就可能很不相同。年龄较大的孩子在幼儿园里表现出色,识字速度可能更快,并因此被选拔学习更高级的课程,未来高管的材料就这样登场了。
