Unfortunately it's just life. When I used to play sport I was competing against girls 51 weeks older than me. Makes a big difference when you're a child. My theory: get her into lawn bowls, curling, table tennis or any other obscure Olympic sport ASAP and you might just have an international star in the making.

Hugs though. We all want our kids to have the best possible chance and it's frustrating when 'the system' prevents it.
