My 7 year old's birthday is in March, and we had the dilemma of whether to hold him back or not. He ended up going when he was almost 5, and has been fine. My 4 year old's birthday is also in March, and we're unsure what to do with him. With our first it seemed pretty obvious that he was ready for school, he needed more than his two days a week at preschool. With our 4 year old it's hard to tell. He just seems a bit more emotionally immature than our 7 year old was at that age.

So what I'm doing is re-enrolling him for his spot in pre-school, and enrolling him in school, and when it comes time to confirm our pre-school spot, we'll make the decision. I have noticed at our school a couple of kids that started kindergarten this year, went for a couple of weeks and obviously they weren't ready because the parent pulled them out.

As for our DD, she was born in June, but I've already decided to hold her back till the year she turns 6.
