[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I get from such posts is parents underestimating their kids. Being small for the age and sensitive are not problems for which they should be punished and lose out on a year. Talk to the admins of the school and of your current school to get their perspective. Small kids usually make smaller adults too, which is ok. Teach him that he is smart, wonderful and talented. Figure out ways for him to flourish and be confident and appreciate his sensitive nature. He is not going to magically change and be like his peers in one year. You are trying to hold him back by thinking this will give him some advantage, I think it’ll just make the problem worse. You are treating the symptom and not the problem. [/quote] All of this. He's likely still going to be small and sensitive the following year. What will you do then, have home repeat 6th for the third time? [/quote]
