[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a daughter born 14 days before our cutoff and I’m planning to hold her. [/quote] Also… I actually have three kids with fall birthdays (we’re in NY where the public school cutoff is 12/31 but most private schools are 9/1 or 10/1, except for ours). I held my oldest back, a boy, no brainer. My girls are 6 weeks and 2 weeks before the cutoff. While I think tbe decision is more nuanced for girls, I think that kids are pressured to grow up too fast these days. If they are close to the cut off and I can buy them an extra year of childhood, extra play based time, extra time without a phone, or sleepaway camps, or the pressure of high school, social media… I think that’s a good thing. My oldest is in kindergarten (he turned 6 instead of 5) and it’s a very long, highly structured day. They get one hour of lunch and recess and that’s it for outdoor time. [/quote]
