[quote=Anonymous]Our preschool teacher recommended it because our DS, whose birthday was right on the cut off, was shy. I almost cried, I was so ready for him to start kindergarten, and I asked her repeatedly as we neared the end of the school year if she still felt the same way. She did, so I signed him up for one more year of preschool. I think he would have been fine if he had gone to school with his peers. He still had a difficult time relaxing in the beginning of each school year anyway, which was his only issue, so it didn't really help him to wait. He's not an athlete so it didn't benefit him that way, and he's also off the charts smart so I don't think he had an advantage academically either. So all in all, I really don't think it was a benefit. I know kids who skipped a grade who are sort of left out socially as kids enter puberty. That seems worse.[/quote]
