Firstly, hello everyone and thank you for any advice you can give. I'm not a mother but a father of two twin boys who were premature by 8 weeks meaning that they were born on August the 13th and thus meaning they are due to start school a year earlier than they should be.
Me and my wife don't think this is the right option for them as they won't be at the same skill level as the other children and don't want them to feel like they are stupid compared to the other children.
So my question is: Has anyone had any experience with holding children back a year without them just going into the year above the following year, as that just seems counter productive to us?
Any advice and help would be very much appreciated.
