[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2 boys in our family with summer bdays less than a week apart. One went on time, the other waited a year. Both sets of parents made the correct call for their kid. Two very different kids who are both doing well academically and socially 5 years later.

Both kids have awesome summer swim bdays though![/quote]

How do you know the held back kid would not have been just fine in the proper grade.  In summer swim the kids talk about ages and grades as well as classes. [/quote]

Because he was dealing with mild sensory processing disorder as well as being diagnosed with another mild disorder and the medical professionals thought he’d benefit from another year before starting K so those parents followed that advice. [/quote]

My point is - no one outside the family knows what goes into making the decision to wait or send a kid. I guarantee you that you’d have no idea the boy dealt with any of those issues - they rarely surface now and he does not have a 504 or IEP.

FWIW, my own summer kids went on time to school and did just fine. I’m just not willing to judge others for choosing a different path. [/quote]
