My little one is young for his year, born at the end of the cut off so really two weeks later he'd be the year below. When it came to starting school we had the option to defer a year. I had wanted to but felt unsure. i had just had a new baby and was exhausted and likely had post natal anxiety/depression looking back. My husband felt he was fine to go ahead after having a successful nursery year. Its now 3 years later and im having major regrets. He does enjoy school for the most part and has friends and is doing ok academically however I feel he is quite immature (understandably) compared to a lot of his year group. He does well in class tests however they did a big progress test and he got the lowest in his class in maths. He said he felt tired and the teacher advised he rushed through. The teacher also mentioned ADHD possibility as he lacks focus and often makes mistakes despite knowing the material well. He's a happy child and I feel sad ive potentially set him up for a harder time in school. I also worry that his youngness and immaturity is being confused with ADHD and my son will be labelled. Anyone have any advice/reassurance or been in a similar situation? The option to repeat really isnt there and I do feel a sense of annoyance towards my husband for not supporting a deferral more.
