We let kid play and explore until 2nd grade then we make them sit in a desk for 7 hours a day.


If your small child has YouTube Kids. Delete the app. It is the most ADD App I have ever saw my kids use. It is just random short clip after random short clip. That app cannot be good for a child's brain.

He was ready academically but we didn’t want to risk the social issues that can come with being a year younger than everyone. 


Your son is still not going to be the qb or the starting short stop in varsity.

great.. had my kid aug 3 last yr


I turned 5 towards the end of July and started kindergarten that year...was perfectly fine. There's more to it than just age when it comes to social abilities of kids.

I can't believe they would let a kid with a November birthday attend school. You must not have gone to a private school.

age cutoffs should be calendar year, not school year.

Wouldn't that just shift the problem to December births or am I missing something?

My birthday is 9/30.

I didn't get held back, and was generally considered one of the smartest kids in my grade.

No ADHD either.

Really think it just depends on the kid. Some who are younger really aren't ready, but sometimes they are.
