[quote=Anonymous]I have a son with a late September birthday who started on time with a September 30 cutoff. He had absolutely no problems academically or socially. He had some behavioral issues in K-2 (inability to sit still, not completing in-class assignments), but that was because he had untreated ADHD, not because he was a little younger. If he had started school later, he would have had those some issues until the ADHD was addressed. He's doing well in HS although doesn't have the best study habits or motivation - seems happy with an A- in everything which I can't really complain about. Again, this is not because of his age but because of who he is. Holding your child back will not turn him into the perfect student. So far the biggest problem is that he likely won't be able to get a retail job this summer because he won't be 16 until after school starts up again. [/quote]
