[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're going to get a lot of answers that don't really apply to your child on this thread and it's not because PPs are not trying to help. It's just impossible to give you a advice without knowing your child or the dynamics of your school and peers. Talk to other parents at your school, visit the class if you can. Ask your child's preschool teacher. 
We have a bunch of Sept. birthday kids at our school. Of the six I know, two were redshirted and the other four went on time. Of the four that went on time, two really struggled in K.  One had academic issues and the other had social issues.  The other two Sept. kids were in the highest reading group and seemed to be doing fine socially.[/quote]

What grade are they now, and how are they all doing?  I have a September boy and I don't know what is best for him.[/quote]

Third. One of the struggling Sept. birthday kids, who happened to be a girl, repeated K and since she was no longer in the same grade I'm not sure how that turned out.
The second struggling kid, a boy, seems to be doing better but I think he may have gotten some accommodations like fidgets, breaks.
The two that were doing well, a girl and boy, continue to be doing well academically at least from the perspective that they are still in the top reading groups for their respective classes, I think.
Not sure about one of the two redshirted guys but the second one is doing well and may not be in the top reading group but maybe the second highest. He's very small so I think no one really knows he is a year older than some of his classmates. 
We have had playdates with the on-time Sept. boy who is doing well and the redshirted Sept. boy who is small and they both fit in very well with everyone else and the two are actually friends.

I paid attention to how these kids were doing because DC2 has a late July birthday and can be immature, but I wonder whether there would be a similar breakdown of kids doing well versus struggling if I picked another random month.[/quote]
