[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sent our Aug bday boy on time. Preschool teacher and others advised waiting but the only reason any of them ever gave was he was a boy with a summer bday. I almost red-shirted because I thought everyone must know more than me. Even put a deposit down on a junior kindergarten. But DS kept asking why he wasn't going to K with his friends and insisting he wanted to go. I realized I couldn't give him a good reason he wasn't ready. Yes, he was a small guy but he would always be on the small side. No he couldn't read but they teach reading in K.[b] He was well behaved, got along well with his peers and had good impulse control.[/b] At the last minute we sent him on time. He was fine. He's now in MS and still fine. Lots of friend. Good grades. [b]You know your child[/b]. [/quote] This! It's about social skills as much as academic. If he did not fit in with those kids, it would have been better to stay back. [/quote]
