[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the comments but do have a friend whose son is a year behind her daughter (boy-girl twins). The son has serious disabilities (chromosomal abnormality). So it is done but that is a pretty extenuating circumstance.

Why don't you talk to the preschool teachers and get a sense of what they suggest? They deal with kids and kindergarten readiness daily...they might have some perspective on this since they know these kids that randoms on a message board do not.[/quote]

My boy twin is constantly underestimated when along side his very mature sister, even though his is well within normal range. We worried about it as well when they were preschoolers (a lot!) but their teachers were experienced and shocked us when they spoke about how advanced my son was. As his parent, I couldn't see it. Fast forward to late elementary and he has really hit his stride even though he is still smaller and less mature than most of his grade as opposed to his 95% height sister. It would have been an awful mistake to hold him back.[/quote]
