[quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread. We are going through this with a July birthday. DD has always been the youngest in her class. (The cutoff here is July 31, and most people redshirt summer birthdays.) She is also very small for her age and has babyish interests compared to the other girls in her class. Academically, she is reading second grade level chapter books and does well with math. She is very mature and well-behaved. She is a follower. We have tentatively decided to send her to kindergarten. Everyone who has evaluated her has said to. But, we do worry about social hierarchies. So, we have chosen a progressive school that is less focused on academics (although they offer differentiation--so also good for advanced DD) and more about teaching the whole child. At our meetings they understood right away what our DD needed.[/quote]
