[quote=Anonymous]If your school is suggesting you hold back, I would highly recommend it. We held back both of our kids who have late birthdays. Both are incredibly bright, high scores, etc. Being on the older side has been great for them! We only grow more happy with this decision as they get older, now in 7th and 5th. I would not worry about boredom if you your are in a decent school your kid will not be bored. Also, FWIW, I, too have a late birthday and went forward. While I was happy and always excelled academically, in looking back I can see so many ways I would have benefitted by having another year of social maturity under my belt. That extra year is a gift.[/quote]
