[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the folks with preemies and kid with special needs, the conversation is not about your kids. Obviously if there are profound reasons why a kid should start outside of their prescribed age range, then that is appropriate. The conversation is not about your kids - it is about the totally normal, age appropriate function kids whose parents are deciding for whatever reason, they want to start their kids late, and then brag about how smart/athletic their kids are to the world.

The line isn't that bright, PP. A lot of parents don't discover a child has special needs like dyslexia until they start school or they might suspect some special needs and hold their child back and realize later that their child does not have the issues they thought they might. There are also parents who may suspect their child has issues but never get a diagnosis. What is "totally normal" in this context anyway?  You might be surprised that some of the kids who with no physical tell have issues have severe anxiety, depression, ADHD-inattentive type or other issues.[/quote]

Having an August/September birthday is not a special need or an issue with no diagnosis, but it is a reason a lot of parents hold back their children.  [/quote]
