It's a tricky one but i think you may have made the right decision, that extra time with you at home could prove to help immensely especially if you feel she is still a little clingy.

I'm struggling to figure out what i'll do with DD also, i held my two boys back and i know it's been the best thing for them, i can see my evidence with both of them. DD is a confident little one who is really quite clever even still i thought i wanted to do as i did for the boys with her too. But speaking to a teacher friend she suggests not to in my particular case. This would mean DD would turn 5 in the Dec and begin Prep (Vic) the year later in Jan. Meaning she'll be more than likely one of the last ones to have a birthday in amongst the friends she makes. I'm not sure if what she is showing us now has a lot to do with her brothers being around and if things would change in her own space. I want her to be socially and emotionally strong, i wasnt and i want her experience to be different.

The challenge is trying to figure this out probably way before we need to be and with the ture signs maybe not showing as yet, but with waiting lists and times lines of when to enrol you have to be well organised.

Can i just sneak in a question too?? Olive would you say your DD who will begin at 6 is a confident little one or a little more on the quieter side?
