[quote=Anonymous]I did this with 2 of my 3 kids (boy and girl) and it was the best decision I ever made....especially for the girl. They were both preemies and were both on the small side and still a bit immature when it was time to start K. I actually had my son start preK instead of K and it was fine then, and its still fine now (he's a HS senior). I didn't initally do this with my daughter. It didn't happen with her until a few years ago when she started MS...she graduated from 5th grade at one school, but I had her repeat 5th grade at another school. She felt much more comfortable and had more in common with that age group, so she did much better socially. As a matter of fact, none of the kids knew she was older because she fit in so seamlessly with them. They are both bright kids and I considered keeping them in their appropriate grades, but I felt I had to make a decision that wasn't solely based on academics. We were experts on our kids and we felt we were making the right decision, luckily, we were in an environment that supported us on this. Good luck on whatever you choose![/quote]
