[quote=Anonymous]What is the social readiness necessary for Kindergarten and how can it be improved in a child? We have a DS in PK4 this year. He was in daycare for several prior years. He has a developmentally delayed sibling who is effectively younger than the PK4 DS. While DS in PK4 is academically on target, we have concerns about the social development of PK4 son. He is awkward at playing with other kids and occasionally hitting or extra touchy with other kids. We assume part of this is that he has had a non-standard relationship with his sibling who he's been able to be dominant over. My spouse is concerned that DS PK4 should possibly be held back from K next fall as he has social awkwardness and has a summer birthday. What are thoughts on this social development level and appropriateness for kindergarten? We are almost a year out, so hopefully he will socially grow this year. Any tips on activities outside of school that can help with DS's social interactions and development for a PK4 child?[/quote]
