[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im seriously considering holding my June girl back one year. She seems so babysh, although she has come a LONG way these past 6 month. It is really  amazing how much she has matured compared to last year.

She is 4 and 1/2 right now...

Last year, I holding her back was a certainty... now Im just considering it.

Another thing at the back of my mind is that I dread the thought of sending her to college at just turned 18. Ugh![/quote]

I started college at 17 and didn’t turn 18 until the first semester was over. I did just fine and had no social or academic problems at all.

I have a DS with a June birthday in kinder now and he is doing fine and he came from an Italian preschool so wasn’t as academically prepared as his peers but socially and motor skill wise, he is far ahead of peers. [/quote]

+1, started college at 17 and it was fine.  My kid started K at age 4, and it was fine--she's doing great a couple years later, although of course there were kids who were bigger or faster or more advanced academically to start.  And that's okay. Perhaps try to differentiate between your own anxiety and more legitimate reasons to hold a child back.[/quote]
