[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends a lot what other people in your area do & what the cut off is. If lots of summer birthday boys redshirt, then in a marginal case, I’d probably do it. If it’s unusual or the cutoff is October or onwards, I wouldn’t. He would be very old for his year. Also, FWIW, younger sibs tend to be academically behind but ahead in terms of gross motor & emotional development when they start K; it mostly evens out in the end (although younger siblings stay slightly ahead on gross motor throughout their lives statistically, which is fascinating)… but being big & advanced could be a bad combo if he’s prone troublemaking already. Boredom is a disaster for borderline ADHD kids. Just something to think about.[/quote]
