I feel ridiculous asking this but here goes:
My son was born 4 months early, at the end of August. He's developmentally behind in all areas according to the health visitor, pre-school etc.
We're planning to delay his school entry by a year, in accordance with government guidance (the details of this are another thread altogether). It's a no-brainer to me.
However, although his language isn't great, he's soaking up information like a sponge. He's taught himself (with minimal input from us or pre-school so far) the whole alphabet, numbers, shapes, colours - even number bonds (!!).
I know that there are many aspects to development & that he is behind in lots of these areas. But if he's able to do/know these things at the age of (just) 3, are we doing him a disservice to delay his school entry?
Any advice from teachers/those who've experienced similar would be great!
