Strike a balance . Family helps the kid to know their roots . Other kids help them to grow socially . So just balance both , its better u dont sent them t residential school or something , if thats what u r contemplating . And kids shud always be exposed to other kids ... thats the natural way . Dont make a child look (talk) like an adult , theyshud evolve just like you did .
Hope that helps
Cheers

I suppose a bit more info would be warranted and needed. What type of growth would a 4, 5, 6, 7, year old see, should they be surrounded and raised by the same age group? Aside from the obvious would you want a 4 year old to teach your child math, English, etc.? Now, are you asking if a child of these years should associate with children of their same age group? I believe that all children need the company of same or like age groups for several reasons. I don't suppose a child who has only adults to talk with or learn by would have much of a life considering they are too young for most adults to converse with and too annoying for most children to be around. I believe a happy medium must be established for the proper growth of all children. Children who have little or no contact with other children do not learn the appropriate and acceptable does and don't. If you enter a classroom of children you can see that should one child act up and immediately be disciplined, the others become aware that this is inappropriate and tend to avoid the mistake themselves. I suppose there are those who believe correcting a child is wrong but if you only have a child around someone of their own age they would have no concept of behavioral actions in public. If we were never taught by anyone, other then our own age group, the human race would have died out years ago. We as humans must have both children and adults to learn by and from. It would make life much easier if adults would act more like children once in a while and children would act like adults once in a while. That isn't to say adults know everything and children know nothing. I'm just saying children and adults alike can learn a lot from each other.

3 to 5 years of age - that's a very crucial age. From infancy to 3 years, a child should spend as much time with the parents as possible. Separation would cause separation anxiety.
By 4, the child should already learn how to play with other children. If not, by age 5, the child would have lost the valuable skill of interaction. This can have serious consequences in latter life. Some teenagers and even some adults have serious social issues that can be traced back to their childhood.
Do allow children to develop. That's what childhood is for. I hope I've helped and not scared you. Take care.

You answer your own question in the additional information, do you not? Of course, just learning how to speak is not the only advantage, the many preferred ways of acting and behaving are also more highly developed in adults than children. Decision making is learned as well as time management, etc.
If children need, for their own protection [and this should always be a last resort] to be removed from their parents, then another mother and father should be found to provide what children need.
What should never be done is to provide homosexuals access to children. The reason is that due to Clinical_Denial, the homosexual has a MIND that serves his/her illness, which is an obsessive sexual fixation, the satisfaction of which pushes conscience aside to constantly seek satisfaction.

A balanced combination is best. They need social interaction with kids their own age, but they also need to be able to learn how to interrelate to all levels of society. Kids learn how to be the adult they will be from being around the adults in their lives as kids.

Kids need the support and discipline of an adult but also the social interaction of their peers

I know what you mean, my 8 year old grandaughter speaks better than me and says things I would never have put into words. I do think its better for them to spend more time with kids their own age though . I don't like the fact that my grandaughter puts me in my place talking to me.

you need both! you must have the kid able to talk to other kids and the adults as well so if you have to choise one or the other i would consider other options i would not settle with those two options!
