[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the delays. We held our child back and it was a huge mistake. Socially he acted much younger and he loved learning so he wasn't being challenged (language, fine motor issues). We bumped him up skipping a year and keeping him with older kids helped as he wanted to keep up with the other kids. If you kid knows their basics like colors, shapes, numbers, and alphabet, or more, send them. Best is a smaller private K. with 10-12 kids in a classroom, where they can get more support and attention, if you can afford it. Then, if they are still struggling transfer them to public where no one will know or send to 1st. Why not give them a chance to be successful and if it doesn't work, its ok, and try again next year. Most will tell you to hold back. We were pressured to do it. I wish I listened to my gut, which said not to.[/quote]
