[quote=Anonymous]I agree that your child will probably turn out fine either way, but the safe choice is holding back.

I held back my late August boy, he is in K this year. He also had average height, no social issues and appeared average academically the spring/summer we were making the decision. Very similar it seems to your child. His daycare advised to hold him, said it wouldn't hurt. We also have an older child that is middle of pack age wise but struggles academically, so that probably swayed our decision some, I didn't want to go through that with two kids.

He is sailing through K, no problem with all those worksheets they give him, I don't think he gets much attention, I guess I do think it might be better if he was challenged a bit more, so that is my one regret right now, but it might change, early days still, plus there is the AAP option. I do think if we had sent him earlier, we would be having to work a lot more with him to keep him on grade like we do with my older child.

Our school is very UMC, so most kids are above average academically and I think my son fits in better as the older child, gives him lots of confidence.[/quote]
