We had always thought that we would hold DS back as many people we know seem to do that to give their child a better opportunity at school socially and for his education.

Now I'm not so sure. He is my first so I have no idea what to expect. I think he is above average. He talks very well and has a huge vocabulary. He has memorized most of his books. He can't write his name but is starting to trace. He makes friends fairly easily from what i can see.

A relative held her son back using advice given to her and her son is older than all of the kids and doesn't want to play with them because he says they are babyish? I don't want him to fall behind the pack and blame me later. So confused!
