My son is the youngest in the class, his birthday is 4 weeks before the cut off date.
He is struggling a little in school to keep up on an academic level and his teacher has mentioned about keeping him back a year.
He has been tested for any sort of learning difficulty and it was agreed that there were none, he is just young for his class.
In all other areas he is thriving in school. He has great friends, he is socially and emotionally at the same level as his peers.
So, If we don't hold him back, will he struggle all through his education just to keep his head above water?
If we do hold him back and he matures a little will he be bored out of his head ?
He is 10 and I don't want to let it go another year before we make a decision
I worry about holding him back, and I worry about not holding him back!!!!!
Has anyone held their child back (or not) and what was the outcome????
Any advice, opionions are much appreciated [santa]
