I have 5 year old identical twin boys, currently in Reception. The school have suggested that one moves up to year one in September but the other stays in Reception. The school feels I should allow my more capable twin to flourish on his own independantly and my younger twin to learn to stand on his own 2 feet and not rely on his brother.
But all the children in his class will be going up except my son who will be with the new children and on his own to make friends all over again. He has some very good friends in his current class and I'm worried about his confidence if he is made to stay behind.
There is no time scale for how long he will have to stay behind.
I don't want to insist he goes up and he struggles to keep up with the work but at the same point I don't want him to feel like the odd one out!

Should I let one of my twins move up a year and let the other stay behind?
