[quote=Anonymous]Wow. I just looked up New york state's policies - and honestly, it seems that you really can't delay entry in new york if your child is going to be 5 years old by December (their cutoff is the latest of the country, too!)

IS THIS REALLY TRUE????  Seems so stupid, especially for a child like OPs who could really, really, really use another year of preschool.

Of course, OP, your child may grow up lots in the next 2 years.  Keep a close eye on it, and if she still seems just so young by the time she's 4 years old, then I'd push for a developmental pediatrician screening.

And to help your husband get on board, in the meantime, make sure he's doing lots of things at your DD's school, and that he does lots of driving to activities, sitting and watching her take ballet class with the other kids, or at the playground with a few friends, or being the chaperone for her preschool class, etc.  That way he will start to understand how delayed she is, if she is.  if he just sees her, he has no frame of reference.  and if he only picks up once or twice a month, he isn't even paying attention - but if he picks up every day, or drops off every day, and does the driving and manages the playdates with other kids, he'll start to notice.

And, if he doesn't, OR if he continues to be really resistant, then I don't know but I think it's MORE IMPORTANT for your DD to have a champion than to take care of an adult man's feelings.
