[quote]The choice I am facing is if I should hold him back a year, this will be his first year in real school. If he starts school in the fall he will be one of the youngest in his class. He only made the cut off by 4 days. Probably Im over concerned about nothing but was wondering none the less. [/quote]

When I was a nanny, there was a mom whose son just made the cutoff date for kindergarten, she put him in. She wished she had waited another year as her son was struggling.

My son missed the cutoff date by 6 days (and that is only because its full day kindergarten where I live). Even if he had made it, I would have waited another year. It's better to be one of the older ones in class (and my son is one of the oldest one in his class) and not struggle.
