Thank god something I can show my fiancée. She really doesn’t understand it. I by no means need to have my next child in January but I just won’t plan to have a late year baby.. for girls it’s not much of an issue, but it makes a difference for boys early in life and sports.

Since the outcome of the relative age effect is largely due to ,perceived’ talent when compared to peers and therefore better support, you could technically overcome the relative age dilemma by simply encouraging your kid regardless of what month they were born in :)
