Not sure what you are talking about here. WN has preboarding for families with children, ages four and under, between the A and B boarding group. GAs do all kinds of crazy things, but WN does not have a policy to board the family group by the child's age, as in youngest first.
I used to fly WN quite a bit, and it was crazy the way families took advantage when they allowed them to board before everyone else! I sometimes would count groups of 10+ with older children who obviously needed no help. IMO, they ruined it for themselves.
