For parents with younger kids, unless your child lives for sports, the age differences tend to disappear as the children get older. Academically my child is top of the class. There are some social differences between the youngest and older kids, but they're less obvious in a school setting (although I think more obvious at things like school dances).[/quote]

Disagree.  I know a couple of people who regret sending their kids young--the comment:  "Nobody told me about high school!"

Another kid I know was a fish out of water in high school.  Very smart, good kid--but socially far behind the others--again, the youngest in his class--or at least, I assume so as the birthday was very late September. Preschool teacher and K teacher recommend another year=--but mom was insistent because he was "academically ready".

Each child is different.  If you think your kid is not ready, wait a year--especially if the preschool teacher thinks so, too.  Remember, that is where someone sees him interact with other kids.

He'd probably struggle just the same if he were held back a year.  [/quote]
