[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just a date thing, it’s a date followed by a take a good look at your own child thing.  With a June bday girl who is a third child in the family, I would not hold back unless there is a very compelling reason or your teachers or private school admissions (if you’re in that situation, of course) brought it up.[/quote]

I'd even take into account the child's size. My nephew has a July birthday and has been head and shoulders taller than his peers since a huge growth spurt at 4 yo. I can't imagine what his life would have been like if his parents would have redshirted him.  [/quote]

That was one of the things we thought about. Our June baby is in the 99th percentile for height and weight. He is one of the youngest kids in his class but he is one of the bigger kids. I ave a friend who had to make that decision and choose to keep her son back because he was not ready for kindergarten and he is about the size of a second grader. It was not an easy choice to make but he was in no way ready for kindergarten at 5 but his size is its own problem. [/quote]

I'm planning on holding back my August birthday boy, and he is quite tall and big. He'd be tall no matter if he was the youngest or the oldest in the class. Right now he's one of the youngest in his 4 year old preschool class - still tall. It is what it is. [/quote]
