People think she looks like she should be starting kindergarten, but since she has a September birthday that is still 2 years away. It really stresses me out, I almost want to move to a state that has a 12/31 cut off because of it. She is already taller than her friends and now she will be a year older than many kids in her class.
Not to hijack the thread, but in most districts around here a September birthday should be able to test into K if she's ready. Or you can do a mixed age private pre-K/K program this year and she might be ready to be placed in grade 1 next year.
