New Study: Kids Who Are Young for Their Grade Are Much Likelier to Be Diagnosed With ADHD and Depression

Parents want the best for their children, particularly when it comes to education. While many parents may feel the cultural push toward earlier schooling, some are questioning these evolving norms and delaying school enrollment or forgoing conventional schooling altogether.

Intellectual Disabilities and Depression

Previous findings by Harvard researchers showed increased ADHD diagnosis rates for children who were the youngest in their kindergarten class compared to the oldest ones. But new research just published in JAMA Pediatrics reveals that in addition to higher ADHD diagnoses of children who are among the younger ones in their grade, relative youth may also lead to increased diagnosis of intellectual disabilities and depression.

The new study looked at more than one million children in the UK and found that those who were among the youngest quarter in their grade were 30 percent more likely than the oldest quarter of the children to be diagnosed with an intellectual disability. These youngsters were 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, and 30 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression. The researchers conclude:

In this study, relative youth status in the school year is associated with an increased risk of diagnosis of ADHD, intellectual disability, and depression in childhood.

These findings should send shivers up the spines of parents and teachers. Holding other childhood variables constant, the researchers were able to pinpoint relative youth as the key factor leading children to be diagnosed with significant academic and mental health issues. These children may have been more inattentive and energetic because they were younger, not because they had ADHD. Similarly, they may have been slower to learn because they were nearly a year younger upon school entry than their older peers in the same grade.

These children didn’t have an intellectual disability; they were just little. It also shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us that if relatively immature children are being expected to sit still and pay attention in class, and do the same academic work as children who are nearly one year older, it could lead to higher rates of depression. Who wouldn’t feel depressed in this situation?Youthful exuberance should be valued and encouraged, not pathologized.

Last fall, Harvard researchers published findings in the New England Journal of Medicine showing that US children who were among the youngest in their grade were far more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than the oldest children in their grade. Specifically, the researchers found that in states with a September 1 kindergarten enrollment cut-off date, children born in August were 30 percent more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than children born in September.

In other words, the newly-minted five-year-olds were less attentive and more fidgety than the children who were about to turn six. This was particularly true of boys. Anyone who spends time with young children knows that there can be a big difference between a five-year-old and a six-year-old. Youthful exuberance should be valued and encouraged, not pathologized.

ADHD Diagnosis Dragnet

The lead Harvard researcher, Timothy Layton, concluded:

Our findings suggest the possibility that large numbers of kids are being overdiagnosed and overtreated for ADHD because they happen to be relatively immature compared to their older classmates in the early years of elementary school.

The researchers in the new UK study find similar results related to ADHD overdiagnosis, along with diagnosis of intellectual disabilities and depression. They suggest more research should be done on the link between early school enrollment and these potentially adverse outcomes.

Meanwhile, parents should be aware that their children could be caught up in a diagnosis dragnet for no other reason than relative youthfulness. And educators should be aware that if a child has a hard time sitting still and paying attention, is not catching on to the learning material as quickly as her peers, or is showing signs of depression, it could very well be that she is simply younger than the other kids. She may not yet be developmentally ready to listen and learn, and the disconnect between her own timetable and the school’s artificial one may cause her emotional turmoil.

The UK researchers suggest that parents can defer school entry, particularly for children who may be relatively immature compared to their peers, but they warn that this deferment may only shift the benchmark. If some children defer due to relative youth, there will simply be a new group that will be relatively young and could potentially experience the same issues. According to the researchers:

In some countries, parents of relatively young children can defer entry for a year. Deferment of children who are both relatively young and developmentally immature could reduce differences in abilities, but deferment of entry for all relatively young children would only change who is relatively young.

Perhaps the best solution is to give children the freedom to grow and develop in their own way, without forcing them to conform to arbitrary standards. Rather than giving kids a label, just give them time.

children of young parents about relationships in the family

Anna: « I slept on chairs during my mother’s lectures »

I am an accidental child. My mother at that time studied at a music college, played the domra, she was 16, and my father was 25. After my birth, she began to go to couples with me. I slept on chairs in the office during lectures and music lessons. Of course, after my birth, studying was much more difficult for her, and she had almost no time left for classes and housework.

After college, my mother had to take several jobs at once: teaching beading, ceramics and singing, cleaning at the art school, and teaching at a comprehensive school. Mom really wanted to develop in her specialty, but she could no longer. Then she became a saleswoman.

Papa is also a creative person, a bard. He gave concerts and sold CDs, from which he received almost no money. Therefore, he worked part-time as a loader, sometimes he did not work anywhere. He drank and walked a lot, infected his mother with gonorrhea two weeks before the birth. He managed to convince his mother that she could not cope alone. Therefore, she endured his spree, could not find the strength to leave.

My mother’s grandmother, a very specific woman, also took care of my upbringing. I tried to open my mother’s “third eye”, together with my father I persuaded my mother to give birth at home. If then a midwife had not come to our entrance to visit a friend and heard my mother, one of us could have died. At least that’s what that midwife and the doctors who later observed us said.

Despite all this, my childhood was quite happy. Now I am 25 years old. Looking back, I can say that my mother tried very hard. She hid from me all the problems in relations with dad, lied about his spree, saying that he “left for another festival or concert”, she never roared in front of me. So I was very shocked when they broke up.

When I was five, my mother divorced my father, and soon she had a new relationship. We moved in with our stepfather, lived with him and his parents in a four-room apartment. He was much stricter than dad, but he devoted much more time to me and mom. I love him. He took a lot of responsibility for my upbringing.

Mother was often called my sister, she was flattered by it, and I was offended that she seemed embarrassed to call herself mother.

For a long time I did not want a family at all, but due to ignorance and inexperience, I myself became pregnant at 18. So now I have a family. Fortunately, I was very lucky with my husband and his family. My mother and I talked a lot about the past, about the grievances that remained. Now we communicate well, often call each other, although we still largely disagree with each other. I guess early parenthood had a much stronger effect on my mom than it did on me. I rarely see my dad. We do not have anything to talk about.

Vera, (name changed): « My father forgot that I exist »

My birth was not planned by my parents. I was born in January 2002, my mother turned 19 only four months later. My father is four years older than her.

Mother did not finish her studies and moved to her father, although he lived with his parents. He drank and beat his mother during her pregnancy.

At that moment, my parents had neither a normal education nor a job. Both mother’s and father’s families were in suspense, since their children are young, and already with a child. They had not yet walked up, gradually drank themselves.

My childhood was almost lonely. Father always forgot that I existed. When I was four years old, my mother left me for six months, left with some man. Then I was raised by my aunt, my mother’s sister. She also had a child, and when I heard that my sister called my aunt mom, I started calling her the same. The word “mom” was associated with care and love, so I thought that my aunt was my mom.

I was raised by my grandparents on my father’s side, they were better off than my mother’s family. Until now, I live with them, because I am still studying. And my grandmother doesn’t want me to leave her. In elementary school, I went to see a psychologist, but I don’t have any memories of it. Mom tried to improve, but I did not trust her.

I don’t want a family because I haven’t received my portion of attention yet. My parents abandoned me as a child, and I still suffer from an anxious type of attachment and abandonment syndrome. I cannot be a more loving parent than mine were. But everything can change.

Now my relationship with my mother is much better than with my father. Over the years, the realization came to her that she had a child. Sometimes we don’t even greet our father when we meet. We don’t have a “daughter-father” relationship with him, it feels like we are just relatives. I did not forgive them both, but my mother accepted. I try to work through my injuries, but without the constant help of a specialist.

Sasha: « She had a thing for becoming a young mother »

by the age of 19, she was completely ready to start a family. She had a thing for becoming a young mother.

Before I arrived, both of them were not interested in higher education and were content with simple jobs and an easy life. But when they found out about the pregnancy, they realized that they needed to provide for the family. Therefore, both continued to work and went to study at universities, dad at that time was 25.

My parents took me either to work or to study. I have always been by their side. They lived in two cities: my dad is from St. Petersburg, and my mom is from Moscow. Nobody from my environment has ever focused on the age of the parents, although many acquaintances have said and continue to say that I have a very cool and young family.

My family comes first. Recently, I have begun to appreciate the time we spend together more. I am 20 years old, I want and I am ready to start a family right now. We have the most trusting and close relationship with our parents. We often go to exhibitions, theaters together, we have daily rituals, for example, we share the latest news.

We discuss absolutely everything, I can talk to them as freely as with friends. Often, opinions with girlfriends can differ, but with parents, on the contrary, they can coincide.

Yana: « I remember my childhood with a smile on my face »

My parents were in love with each other, got married, then I appeared. Mom was 19 years old, and dad 21, like me now. As my mother says, I was a desired child, it was always felt, even though it was not easy for her. She received a higher education, looked after the house, helped my father with his studies, managed to work and love me. Wonder Woman, no less. She has always been like this: a lot of work and tasks are her way of life.

I remember my childhood with a smile on my face, my soul immediately becomes warm. I had a wonderful relationship with my mother, and it continues to this day. I liked it when they took us for sisters. And now, too, many are surprised that my mother already has such an adult daughter.

I am extremely glad that until the age of five my father lived with us, who always made me laugh and loved me. Then the parents divorced, deciding that they were no longer on the way. Now my father has a third family, we communicate, but rarely. I would like to have closer communication with my dad, but I understand that the relationship that we have now is the best option. I have never been deprived of attention. At the age of eight, my mother introduced me to her man, my stepfather, whom I love very much and am grateful to him for everything. He is my friend and close person who always supports me. She and her mother are the perfect couple. Home is always nice and cozy.

As a child, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. Of course, they helped my parents, but it was not a burden. Everyone loved me and gave me a lot of care. My mother and I maintain a trusting relationship to this day. I can discuss absolutely everything with her, knowing that I will not be judged. With age, the desire to start a family only grows. I feel that warm energy is burning inside, which warms those around me. Some harmony and lightness.

Daria, (name changed) « Either the mother breaks or she breaks the child »

My parents were 18 when I was born. Once, in my teens, I was sitting in line at the hospital, leafing through my card and found a record that my mother had an abortion before I arrived. I didn’t tell my mom. As I understand it, she had an abortion while still at school, and the second time she became pregnant in the 11th grade and decided to leave the child, that is, me.

Parents were hastily married. It happened right after school, when they had neither work nor housing. It seems to me that they treated the birth and upbringing of a child quite responsibly. They matured early, found a job, tried to take care of me on their own. But they couldn’t save the early marriage and got divorced without scandals and claims when I was five years old. My mother is a rather weak and soft person, subject to pressure from relatives and society. She broke down and drank. Now, as an adult, I understand that at that moment she needed care and support, because she herself was a little broken girl. But those around her condemned and pressed her, which only aggravated the situation.

There were no restrictions for me. If you want to draw on the wallpaper – draw, if you want to climb garages – please, if you want to go to your friend’s birthday in torn jeans – it’s up to you. It seems to me that it only benefited me. In many ways, the example, or even anti-example, of my parents influenced the formation of my personality. I remember moments and emotions when in childhood I felt mentally older and more responsible than my parents.

Early pregnancy affected my mother more than me. So, probably, always – either the mother breaks down, or she breaks the child. In my family, everything went according to the first scenario. I had a happy childhood, but I didn’t know how bad everything was with my mother, and now she can’t be pulled out.

I am now 29 years old and married to a man we started dating in high school. The example of my parents showed me that I need to be more careful about sex, marriage and choosing a partner. When I was a teenager, I also wanted to give birth early, like a mother. Not at 18, but at 22-23 maximum. It seemed to me that it is very cool when there is a small difference between mother and daughter, because there is more understanding between them. But at 18 you realize that you yourself are still a child. You need to get on your feet first. And it seems that I got on my feet, but mentally I am still not ready for pregnancy and childbirth.

I never rejected my parents, they did everything they could for me. I communicate with them, well, maybe a couple of times a month. I find out how they are doing, how they work. We help each other sometimes, but, in general, I know little about their life, and they about mine.

Elena Golyakovskaya, psychologist of the Center « No Violence. It is difficult to single out certain scenarios: it all depends on the atmosphere in the family – whether children feel welcome or not.
