[quote=Anonymous]To the PP who said you can always put your kid in kindergarten and if they are not ready, you can hold them back, I don't think that's a good idea. If you hold them back, the kid will look at it as they are the ones who failed (not at that point, but as they get older). They will also want to know why they couldn't go to 1st grade with their friends. I still remember the 2 kids in my elementary school who were held back a year. They may internalize this and think they are not as good, aren't smart, etc. If the parents delay the start, the parents can say they were trying to give them an advantage, they wanted to spend more time with them, etc. Whatever the reason, the parents can take full blame for the late start and the kids won't ever be at risk for thinking they were failures. Just my 2 cents.[/quote]
