[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t do it. I started K at 4 (December birthday) in a private so I could do public 1st at 5. K was fine.

The real $hit$how was 4th-10th. Academically, I was fine. But it SUCKS when you’re behind physically and socially during adolescence. Stupid things like shaving legs, getting my period, going places alone, watching R rated movies, dating, driving, working... I was behind in all that stuff. My parents kept treating me like x years old and my peers were x+1 or for boys x+2. My parents would freak out when I was 13 in 9th and had a 16 yo boyfriend who had a job and a car. They didn’t think that far ahead when they decided I was “ready for k” at 4. I also think being 17 going away to college was fine but not something I’d repeat. I never felt fully “caught up” until I took a year off between junior & senior year of college. [/quote]

I sent my son on time with a very late birthday.  He was a kid that hit puberty early.  I am so glad we did not hold him back but no one can really predict that at 5.  We just followed the rules.[/quote]
