[quote=Anonymous]I think you should strongly consider holding her back. I have kids with April and May birthdays and they are usually amongst the youngest. The kids with July and August birthdays start seeming much younger when their peers are fall birthdays and I have seen some struggle socially, most notable in the earlier grades where 6 months can seem like a lifetime in development. Many kids at the competitive private schools have scored where yours did on the tests, so it's not as if she'll be miles ahead, she will just fit into the normal milieu. Both my kids (even with their "late" birthdays) read before Kindergarten and there was enough social change/challenge to keep them from boredom when that activity is a main focus. [/quote]
