[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was in a somewhat similar spot last year. She’s an October birthday so it was a really close call, but we kept her in pre-K. She’s supposed to start K this fall on time at 5, almost 6. She certainly could have kept up with the K curriculum last year but I’m so glad I kept her back. She can be quite bossy and stubborn, and also struggles with anxiety. For me, it came down to the social aspects. With her personality, I thought another year of play would help a lot, and figured we could always supplement academics on the side. I also didn’t like the idea of her eventually starting college at 17, being last to drive, etc.

She did great in another year of pre-K and has gained more confidence in social skills so I think it was the right call. She still managed to pick up multiplication and can read chapter books, despite not being pushed ahead in K. Now, I’m a little terrified about Zoom classes for K with a bossy, stubborn, anxious kid, which is probably one more reason not to push your kid ahead this year! [/quote]
