[quote=Anonymous]We held back our July bday DS and it was a good decision for us. Repeated PK though at different schools which made it easier. First school ended at PK so everyone was leaving. Then DS went to an independent school at PK entry. Definitely on the older side in the grade but not the oldest in the class. Academically he was capable but socially very shy and quiet. He needed the extra year (and the small school environment) to get comfortable and build his confidence. In addition, he turned out to be a late reader so the extra year was helpful which is something we hadn't anticipated. We have never regretted this decision but bottom line, I do think this decision is dependent on the child and what would be best for the child. Would they be bored repeating? Do they need time to socially develop? Good luck.[/quote]
