[quote=Anonymous]We held back my Sept 14th birthday son (in Arlington). I'm not confident that he was the oldest in his class, there were two August birthdays that could've been born the same year as he. For us it was absolutely the right decision. He had horrible trouble in pre-k due to immaturity - because the class was so full and only tended to have openings when the oldest kids left the centers in June and September, for the months from Sept- June every year he was the last kid to make the age cut off and move up in daycare, preschool, and pre-k. For years we saw how he just didn't measure up to his school-year peers in terms of ability to sit still, listen, pencil grip, fine motor skills etc. Part of this was clearly exacerbated by the ADHD that was diagnosed during his "second" pre-k year, but if we had sent him on time to school it would'v ebeen an unmitigated disaster, for him, his teacher, and his peers.
