[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry that’s frustrating. I am in the same situation with my son and know many, many parents who held back. I had some annoyance about it that my son was a year younger than most of the other kids but when we hang out with some of his friends who did go down a grade, they aren’t necessarily thriving. Kids kind of take on the age and maturity of their peer group from what I’ve seen. If he has a really solid group of friends and is doing well academically and in sports I wouldn’t necessarily change. Have a really good solid reason. It’s not always an amazing advantage. Some kids thrive being the youngest and it builds up their determination and work ethic. We got together with a boy who was my son’s good friend and went down a grade and he’s struggling to hang out with my son now because he’s used to being the oldest in his peer group and more of a leader. I find my son to be more flexible with kids older and younger . [/quote]
