[quote=Anonymous]New poster here on this thread -- We held back our DC in 3rd grade, in a multi-grade setting where it didn't matter much stigma-wise if he didn't advance a grade. He was by far the youngest in his grade, and on top of it, socially less mature and academically behind to some degree. That "extra" third grade year has made all the difference. He's with kids his age now, has caught up and surpassed a lot of kids and is socially doing about right. Now that he's completing 4th grade, I'm so glad we did it. An extra year before middle school. And he'll graduate from HS at age 18, which I think is appropriate. We should have done it earlier and would have if we had figured out that it was not only possible but that a lot of other parents were doing it as well. [/quote]
