[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting conversation to me because I'm expecting a boy this June, and granted I haven't met my baby yet, let alone know what he'll be like developmentally as a child, but it wouldn't occur to me to *not* have not have him start Kindergarten at age 5, unless he were substantially behind in preschool. I live in MD, so K is the first year we'll not have to pay for childcare, and I will certainly be ready to take advantage of that. And aside from that, I just don't want to delay him from growing up, being with his peers, etc., again of course assuming he's within normal range for developmental milestones.[/quote]

Most people don't redshirt. Kindergarten classes full of mostly 7 year olds don't really exist in the real world.[/quote]

I’m the May redshirt. My July baby I sent on time. She was clearly ready. Even now I don’t question it but:
-she complains about being short and the youngest in class
-she goes to MS next year and the issue hitting her hard 
-I still wouldn’t change things, and I would have been able to or thought of it too hard back then. We did make a decision but not a hard-fought one. We always figured we could hold her back if there was an issue. No issue, so we proceeded into 1st, 2nd. She’s top of the class but it obviously is something she thinks about.

I was an October (young) so I know her pain. And im short too[/quote]

PP here and my 1st grade daughters best friend will turn 8 before my daughter is 7. And my daughter is a head taller than her. Younger does not equal shorter always![/quote]
