[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 141545, member: 3907"] I agree with others who have suggested going with your mommy instinct. If your little one isn't socially mature enough to manage, AND will be in a much larger classroom, then retaining for a year might be a very good idea. We kept difficult child back a year in primary school, and then again in high school. Although he's very bright, he is much younger than his years socially and didn't have the self-discipline to manage the academic requirements even with 1:1 support. Even now at 18, he has the social maturity of a much younger child (7 to 12 years old, depending on the day...trending toward older since he's been at Residential Treatment Center (RTC)) I think advancing him with his age group would have made school even more difficult for difficult child than it was. Hope this helps, Trinity [/QUOTE]
