[quote=Anonymous]We held back our late September DD. It was clear when she was 4 that she did not have the social skills to manage being the youngest kid in the class. We were concerned not only with kindergarten, but with having relatively weak social skills as she got older and girls got more sophisticated. Four years later, it was clear that we made the right decision -- she still has weak social skills compared with her (younger) peers, but being the oldest instead of the youngest is allowing her to barely hang on, instead of being totally out of her depth. She also has some learning disabilities and was a late reader (could not read fluently until the middle of 2nd grade) so again, I'm glad that we kept her back. I would likely have made a different decision with a different kid. You know your child best and whether they have the social, emotional, and language skills to keep up with older kids.[/quote]
