[quote=Anonymous]I really depends on the kid. I did not hold back my late-June DS. My sister did hold back her DS with a May birthday. I will say, we didn't have any concerns when DS was starting K -- he was very confident and social, already reading and doing math well above grade level. However, from the beginning struggled with impulse control and classroom behavior. In discussing his issues with the school counselor in 3rd grade I said then that maybe we should have held him back but she emphatically said it was right to start him when we did, that if we'd waited he'd still be having issues but out of boredom rather than immaturity and boredom is much harder to deal with. By 5th grade, he'd grown up more and classroom behavior wasn't an issue. My nephew was definitely more immature before K and in their area was going into a half-day K with very large classes so it made sense for him to wait. He's done well in school too. There's no right answer for all kids.[/quote]
