[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two boys, a late July boy and an almost-July June boy. I did not hold back my late July guy. My almost-July
June guy I also will not hold back. My personal opinion age/bday alone is not a reason to hold a kid back. Hold a kid back who has special needs or is working in therapy on issues or whatever reasons, but just because of age/date no way. I don’t get why people don’t see that kind of holding back as just that - holding your child back. Get out there kiddo, go do what you want and be who you are. And plus - someone has to be the youngest in the class. It doesn’t really mean anything. (June isn’t going to be the youngest).[/quote]

IMO, it’s not an issue at the younger ages, but in HS it is for boys. Boys typically mature more slowly than girls, and I really wouldn’t want my boy hanging out with boys his grade over a year older than he is. My parents did it with my brother, and it was a huge mistake. [/quote]

OP here. Yeah one of the reasons Im now thinking of this is bc Im hearing of all these June-August kids being held back and tbinking that my ds would then be  a year younger than so many of his peers for the long haul (if that is in fact what os happening) so I was just trying to gauge how much of the norm it is for June kids to be held back with Sept cut offs. We shall see![/quote]
