DD1 turned 5 in Feb and she started school this year - there are a lot of kids who are Jan/Feb/March kids who have started this year so she is with her peer group. Also she was very ready and had been talking about school since she was 3 so there was no way she was going to be held back. She has been there nearly a term and is doing really well so I think it was the right decision for her.

DD2 thinks she is already going to "kinder" so I think she will be the same but I will wait and see how she goes closer to actually going to kinder/school. I think you know your child and you are the best judge of what he is like and what will be best for him.
