[quote=Anonymous]I had a summer boy (August b-day) with some attention/social issues in K who we held back. He is now in high school and it was the best decision we ever made. He is a little older, taller and more physically mature than some classmates and the truth is it gives him an advantage in some ways. But this is something he needed to catch up emotionally and socially. There are at least 6 kids at his big 3 school who are OLDER than him - i'm talking spring b-days that make them over a year older than kids in the grade. I am sure this makes some people understandably uncomfortable. His female sibling started on time and is in the middle of her grade in terms of age and is fine. I see this as mainly a thing for boys who are punished in our school system for having less executive function than girls at early ages.[/quote]
