[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was just a really long thread about this.

You're nuts if you do this, especially with a boy.  You'll regret it in middle school and high school big time.[/quote]

I have 2 boys. One with an early summer birthday who is young for his class. One with an October birthday who is old for his class. I see so many advantages for my DS who is oldest. He is a bit immature to begin with so the extra year was needed, but also he is just more advanced academically and physically larger (which isn’t all that important, but helps with sports). He was already reading somewhat before K (he was practically 6). My DS who is on the younger end is thankfully smart, but we do have issues with him being bummed about being smaller than other kids in class, the last to meet a minimum age cut off (e.g. I can’t sign him up for certain activities that have a “you must already be X age to participate” that his friends who have had birthdays that year can do.

It’s not the end of the world either way, but there is a cut off somewhere and unless there is a pressing reason, I have followed the cut off. [/quote]
