[quote=Anonymous]October bday here. Lived in an area with a late cutoff, so started K at 4. No problems whatsoever (other than being slightly annoyed that I couldn't get into some age 18+ clubs with friends for the first couple months freshman year in college). Did well on SATs, had full academic ride to college, went on to earn a PhD. I think it depends on the kid, but being on the young side in and of itself shouldn't be the main driver for deciding not to enroll such a kid in K, IMO. Also, there's the risk of a kid starting a year later and being bored and not challenged. I now have a 4yo with a September bday, but live in DC where the cutoff for K is Sept. 30. I actually want my kid to be challenged to keep up with the slightly older kids, both physically and cognitively. If there was a specific issue/reason for holding back, we'd consider it. However, kid's already been in PK3 and now PK4 with these kids, and is doing well.[/quote]
