[quote=Anonymous]Hi there—

My newly 5 year old is at a language immersion school. She does have a rare genetic disorder that little is known about. She is in pre K4 and is supposed to be entering kindergarten in the fall. Today, her teachers requested we meet to discuss her staying back in pre K4 for a year. She just got to this school in January (but has been exposed to this other language from her past school). Her last school (in an dif city) also had concerns about her. Academically, she struggles a bit- requires a lot of repetition to learn letter and numbers and to write them. Sometimes struggles to count to 20 and say days of the week. Seems to struggle with some memory and attention, but does stay seated and is not disruptive.

Has anyone held their kid back at pre K? Thoughts on your experiences? I would rather hold her back if needed at Kinder, to allow her more time to learn academic stuff. Other hesitations about holding her back at pre K- she is also a tall/big kid and if she stays back now, she can’t stay back in a later grade. We are also contemplating sending her to public school instead, but worry she would not get accommodations since she is fairly high functioning- social, potty trained, can write her name, etc.

Any thoughts anyone can share? Or questions to ask her school about their rec to hold her back? Thanks in advance!
