[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 234371, member: 3444"] He's closer to summer than winter, which would have me advise you to wait. If he had turned 5 already (like in the past five months), then I think I would say to send him. I have a difficult child who is an early September birthday and we waited. I am VERY glad we did. He had significant behavioral issues in preschool and actually started medications the summer before kindergarten. He lost nothing by waiting that extra year and gained so much more. And he is STILL immature for his current grade level. If it turns out that he is too advanced emotionally, academically and socially in kindergarten, they will see it and he can always be moved up. It is much, much harder on them to have to be held back a year, although it can be and is done. [/QUOTE]
