[quote=Anonymous]Unless there are academic issues, I would not repeat at this age. Kids mature at different times so let him just learn to manage. Our son is a Dec bday and still lagged behind maturity-wise compared to kids with summer birthdays many months after him. I'd think repeating academics at this age would lead to worse self esteem issues as well as boredom in the classroom. Plus, it's not like at K when they don't 'know' what's going on. FWIW - our child's private school class has just a few kids that were not born in the appropriate Sept-Aug range for that grade. And a couple of them are girls.[/quote]
