    Fletch thats what I had been told too, about boys doing better if they are held back a year. So even if my boys were before the cut off, I will still wait till they were turing 6 the yr they went.

    I can't find a new topic on this so am refreshing here as I am having to make this hard decision atm! I would love some fresh info, are you planning on sending your child to kindergarten next year? How old will they be? If we send my daughter she will be 4 turning 5 at the end of the April...she goes to pre school 2 days a week, but is a very shy child in groups. Accademically I have no doubts she will be fine. She is bored at home, but I can't send her anymore than 2 days to pre school financially atm! Also if we hold her back, our son won't be able to go to pre school next year. Decisions decisions! He will also be in the same boat in 2 yrs time...but being a boy we may hold him back, so wonder if i should hold my daughter back and have that 2 yrs between them at school. Would love to hear everyones thoughts
