[quote=Anonymous]It often depends on the circle of people you're around. My oldest DS has a June birthday. At the time we lived somewhere else (but still in DC area) and my friends were astonished that we were going to send him to K on time. It did make me doubt myself a bit but DH and I reminded ourselves that he was ready and there was no reason to have him start school 3 months AFTER his 6th birthday. Still, he ended up one of the youngest (if not the youngest) in his class. Thankfully, it didn't work against him and hasn't yet (in 6th grade now) We have since moved to another area within the DC region and find many parents sending their summer birthday boys to K on time at age 5. It's refreshing. Either way, do what is best for your child. Don't make the others doubt you. When they end up in college, they're all basically the same age anyway![/quote]
