Age appropriateness

There are various sanctions associated with age inappropriateness, ranging from social isolation, damage to physical health and cognitive development, and forming of improper behaviour.[10] Students prefer to associate with those similar to them in various dimensions, such as age, gender, race, educational attainment, values, interests and/or beliefs, etc.Their lack of contact with peers, underdevelopment of age-appropriate social skills, and negative self-concepts result in externalizing, such as aggression, and internalizing problems, such as anxiety.Some students are older-within-cohort, which means they fall outside their cohort's standard 12-month age range, either because they are forced to hold back or voluntarily postpone the entry.The nativist and social constructivist stand for retention since they believe it prepares children for school, predicting better academic performance.These findings stand for environmental and interactionist views, enhancing the importance of age appropriateness in children's development.[13] Various content rating systems have been developed to prevent the harm that age-inappropriate media presentations bring to children.
