[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My heart goes out to any child who grows up with parents who think letting their child wait until they are socially, emotionally, intellectually, developmentally ready to start school is the same thing as “holding them back.” That sends a deeply troubling message that a child is not capable. You “hold a child back” when they have already started and are not thriving. Waiting to start until the child is developmentally ready is anything but “holding them back.” It is ensuring their success. I am yet again amazed at the narrow blinders worn buy so many who participate on DCUM. [/quote] +1 The language we choose reflects the attitude we have. When parents “hold back,” they are disregarding their children’s talents and needs. When they “place with consideration,” they are celebrating their child’s abilities. This whole chain is about parents, without regard for children. [/quote]
