5 year olds are still in Kindergarten at best, and are only starting school. They are still usually in the preschool target and are not in grade school. I mean yeah, they can have friends and have vivid memories, but still, 5 is a bit too young. And some 5 year olds are still in preschool. And yet for some reason some people still use the 5-10 core definition. Of course I do realize that not everyone agrees with me, but still. I know I have used it in the past, but I started to realize that 5-10 doesn't make much sense. At age 5 you are still learning basic things and are usually in preschool/early months of Kindergarten.
So is age 5 really core childhood?

Here's what I think:
4-10 Absolute Childhood 4-5: Early Childhood 6-8: Peak Childhood 9-10: Late Childhood

Depends. Each person have their own definition of childhood,for me it's more like core childhood since that's my first year of study

5 is definitely part of MY core childhood.

I consider age five to be part of one's core childhood because that is the absolute youngest age where one could enter elementary school.

Yes. Heck, I think you could even make the argument for age 4 being considered "core childhood" as well.

Core childhood shouldn't necessarily correlate with time spent in elementary/primary school. It can start at any point in time in which someone has vivid memories of and heavily participated in kid/youth culture. For me personally, I lean more towards 2003 as being the start of my "core childhood". Not only is it the first year which I can recall in vivid detail, it was also the year where I started to develop my taste in music outside of pre-school/toddler shows and watch "big kids" shows, such as Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, The Wild Thornberrys etc. It's completely subjective.

I would hate to be 5 again. I would love to revisit 1998 but I'm not sure I want to be 5 again. I appreciate my present relative mental stability

I'm the opposite; I would actually prefer to have been the age that I was in 2004 than experiencing 2004 at my current age. Although, I wouldn't want to ever re-experience the Mid 2000s anyway, regardless of my age.
