[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 263315, member: 3450"] Hi, this is only my experience but my difficult child 1 was retained in 2nd grade and if I could do it over I would not have done it. Other kids made fun of her and she thought she was stupid--the teachers and I explained that she was being held back because she had missed a lot of school and was having trouble concentrating (her dad was ill that year and then died) but she felt it was because she was stupid and never got over that feeling. I think it was horrible for her self-esteem. I know this is just my experience and may not pertain to your difficult child at all, just thought I'd let you know how it went for us. Jane [/QUOTE]
