[quote=Anonymous]My 4.5 yo is very smart. He has been at a daycare with an accredited preschool for over 3 years and 90% of his classmates are 5 or will be soon, and are starting Kindergarden this fall. He is a late winter (February) kid so no way that he'll start this year. But, he is reading, he is a very clear illustrator, and he is ahead of his classmates in motor skills and logic. I also worry that he'll be bored (like DH was throughout school) and will end up acting out in elementary/middle/high school because he isn't learning fast enough. His class is mostly girls and has been for years, and he is most definitely not behind the curve socially. In fact, I have kids in the class above him asking for playdates. For those of you who have been-there-done-that, what helped during this 'lag year'? More reading practice (which he asks to do)? Just let it slide? [/quote]
