[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 234376, member: 6557"] My first born's problem was not behavoral, it was reading. He was not ready for first grade, so we keep him back one year. I am glad we did because we spent that year working with an academic therapist and when he finaly went he was much better prepared. I think it made a positive differents. That said, he is now in 9th grade and fustrated that his younger brouther 2 yrs below in age is only one year below in grade. All the kids do the math and have figured out he was held back. Thus he gets teased, and he tends to say, "I failed kindergarten". I tell him he never failed anything, his parent chose to hold him back. But he never buys it. If I had to do it again, I would make the same choice. It would have been to difficult on him. However, it did have its price, and he will focuse on it all the way to 12 grade. [/QUOTE]
