[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how people talk about the maturity of 5yo's it absolutely makes me laugh....Let me clue you in all kids at 5yo are freakin immature!!!! get over it...sure some kids are more shy, outgoing etc but that is why they are going to K to be around other kids and socialize. Parents need to get a grip and stop using maturity as an excuse to hold kids back that are intellectually ready, its just making it more difficult for teachers that now have to teach to a much larger age window!!! You will be the same parents that will be telling everyone how smart your kid is and how they are doing blah blah 2 grades above level!

I am the parent and I get to decide if I feel my child is ready or not ready to start K.  She started out behind the curve after two years in a foreign orphanage and I believe another year will be beneficial to her before starting K.  And No, I will not be the parent telling everyone how smart my kid is etc etc.  There are real reasons parents hold kids back.  Its an individual decision and frankly none of your business.[/quote]

If you are the original poster than this was your statement "who will turn 5 in Aug to K this year or hold her back so she is not the absolute youngest"...so basically you alluded to the fact you just didn't want her to be the youngest. Sure you have a right and it is an individual decision assuming you have a valid reason. I find it interesting how few kids are held back for a truely developmental / intellectual reason...where does the slipperly slope stop...now its July / August birthdays next its May / June birthdays why don't we just let every parent decide when they want to send there kids to school and we can try and have our teachers handle kids that are 18 months old then some of the other kids..brilliant![/quote]
