my DD turned 5 on the 18th feb, we decided to hold her back this year, it was a really hard decision but it was definitely the right one for her, she did have to say goodbye to a few of her friends from pre school but thats life, these things happen and she has other friends at pre school now. i know she will be more than ready to go next year

my DS is 10th march (he is 3) so we will face the same decision with him, especially being a boy but we will make a decision on how he is going closer to the time

i don't think i have seen a person say yet they regretted holding their child back
