[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know two families who held their sons back for being immature. Guess what? the boys are still immature. But now, they are bigger, taller and "cooler" than their classmates, and are now ringleaders in classroom foolishness. Don't hold your kids back without addressing the issue that led to your decision.[/quote] We held my DS back and yes he is bigger and taller than most of his classmates (but not all-even some of the girls are taller) He is no ringleader in any classroom foolishnesses. He takes his studies seriously which would have been hard given some of his social and learning issues had he gone on time. He worked hard to overcome lots of them. some of the on time kids who are smaller seem to lead the way in being the cool kids, causing lots of issues including lots of bullying. IME, it is the kid not the size or the age that causes the issues. [/quote]
