[quote=Anonymous]I always tell people to trust the preschool teacher(s).  I had my doubts about my DS (end of July).  But preschool teacher ASSURED me he was fine to go on.  At the same time, she told the parents of DS's friend (Jun bday) that he should be held back.  They did.  We didn't.  I didn't see why the friend should be held back, but I totally trusted that preschool teacher.  She was great and clearly had seen lots of kids.  I think she was probably right.  The friend isn't necessarily the fastest thinker and has more immature speech, so that's probably why the teacher said he should be held back.  I think it really did work out best for both kids.  FWIW, my kid is one of the smallest kids in his class... but ALL the girls love him and the boys seem to like him too.  I think he just has a personality that, while not charismatic, just gets along with other kids.  So, the social aspect is not to be discounted in favor of the academic component.  I think my DS will always be small, but probably will have enough friends that he won't be bullied (hopefully)[/quote]
