[quote=Anonymous] Whatever you do, try and make the decision now rather than in a year. we were on the fence with our August birthday boy. We sent him to K on time and it was a big mistake. He was behind academically and socially (though it was hard to see in pre-K since he seemed to be doing fine). By mid-year, he was calling himself stupid and hating school because he wasn't able to pick up what the other kids were doing. teacher recommended repeating K. We did - the first part of the year, he would come home realizing that all his friends are in 1st and he's a "baby" (what his old friends called him - as in "you can't play with us because you're still in K - and you're a baby). It has been a struggle and while he's doing better now and on par with his kindy-classmates, it was a difficult journey. In hindsight, I wish we held him back in pre-k where it wouldn't have been as noticible to him rather than K. [/quote]
