[quote=Anonymous]My son is in kindergarten now. He's one of the youngest children in his class, with an early April birthday. We've been to several birthday parties this month for boys in his class who are turning seven. My son is more immature than a number of his classmates and struggles with his fine motor skills. However, he's doing great in almost all his academic areas and keeps up quite nicely with the kids a full year older than him. I think my son would have been bored out of his mind if we'd kept him in pre-k another year, and I could see that leading to behavior problems. I really think it's depends on the child. Most of the kids in my son's school who were held back a year were held back starting PK-3 or between PK-3 and PK-4. [/quote]
