[quote=Anonymous]We have end of August child whose birthday is 3 days before cut-off and we kept him back, in part because he was still napping at age 4 and still having accidents then, too. It was definitely the right decision. He is in middle school and that extra year helped him tremendously with maturity (willingness to sit down and do homework for example). He is also under 50% percentile for size in his age, and so he has never been the largest in the class, nor the smallest. He is also not that far ahead in terms of birthday - there have always been kids with September and October birthdays in his class, but really, one of his best friends since first grade is 11 months younger than him, so the age range has never been an issue. It's hard to know what to do at this age, but trust your instincts.[/quote]
