[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. Because of where we lived at the time, ours started kindergarten at 4 despite turning 5 in late November, and never had any problems. This sounds specific to your son, not all boys born at the same time.[/quote] The cutoff here is August 31 / September 1, so my kid born in late August was one of the youngest in their grade, but they were academically ready for school. They were always one of the top students in their grade. Socially I think it may have been harder those first 2-3 years because of age but long term it didn't matter. I think being even more bored in school would've been more harmful to their long-term development.[/quote] Agree, red shirting a kid who is ready can be more harmful if hey are bored at school.
