[quote=Anonymous]My DS has a mid-September birthday and we sent him on time last year (he's in 1st now). I am not aware of too many kids that turned 7 before he turned 6 but I guess some probably exist. There were definitely a lot of October-December birthdays - those kids would be 9-11 months older than he is even though they didn't redshirt. My DS is probably slightly behind the curve on maturity but is probably one of the top kids academically in his grade. In the end I think we'll be glad we sent him on time, especially when things click and he turns the corner socially. He's academic and intellectual and I think if anything in a year or two he'll have trouble relating to kids in a way that would have been worse if he was the oldest in the class rather than the youngest. If your kid is bored and wants to go to K, no way in hell would I hold him back. That's asking for behavioral issues. Honestly it shouldn't even be a question. [/quote]
