[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son has a late August birthday, and we are planning to enroll him in PK3 next year. He is very verbal and seems to be enjoying his current full-time daycare. I hadn't even considered holding him back until a few people asked me about it, and I see it mentioned here all the time. Are there specific things people look for when deciding to hold a kid (boys, especially) back? He's only 2.5 so there's only so much I can "judge" him on at this point haha but want to be sure I'm not missing or considering something. Thanks![/quote]

Same boat here, mine is 3.5 but we are not doing any daycare or PK before he starts K "on time." He works on academic skills and school environment type expectations with his caregiver, and he has older siblings in school who can model the right behaviors for him. He is the baby of the family and prefers older kids to play with, so I don't foresee any problems being the youngest in class. Kinks in behavior get ironed out eventually, but it's harder to catch up in academics, so I would focus more on that.[/quote]
