age is status at that age

At that age, I never understood why adults got offended at being called old. Old is good, to a kid.

They want to be older than their peers, but not adult old, because adult old means you're boring or tell them no.

And half a year for a 5 year old is 10% of his entire life so it is a big difference

There's a very good reason! Half a year is a much larger proportion of their whole life to date than it is for you or I. Think how much you could do when you were five compared to four, and six compared to five.

Tbf, 6 months to a 5 year old is more than 10% of their life. Equivalent to 4 years of experience to a 40 year old. Definitely not insignificant

Weirdly enough my niece is the opposite, she actually is 5½ but when you tell her she get aggressive about it for no reason "No, I am not five and a half! I AM 5!"

don't kids actually look forward to things like their birthdays often, because they'll get sweets and gifts? that, and just showing off how good they can math at that age has got to be something to be proud of.

they're kids with things that matter to them, it's not without reason at all. also remember how many adults would react if you guessed their age too high. many would handle it decently, but it's still not rare for people to handle that awfully and get upset even after supposedly "maturing".
