When you have the option to push your kid through to kindergarten or hold them back a year, here’s what experts say is best.
Taken all together, this research would seem to be a win-win — my kid will be a-okay either way! — except that there are flipsides to both findings. A 2021out of Finland indicated that younger kids in a class are more likely to be diagnosed with learning disorders, potentially because their developmentally appropriate abilities are being judged against those of older kids. But it’s no picnic for older kids, either.
So: What to do? In our case, there was one option besides begrudgingly waiting until the following year. We could have our son spend two years at a private school, since their cutoff rules are less rigid; he would then be permitted to transfer to our local public school as a first grader. But that felt inhumane, shuffling him from his beloved preschool to a new school, thennew school. Our son is, shall we say, not someone who enjoys change.
Which brings me to another important point in this confusing equation: Ultimately you must do what’s best forkid, not what academic studies recommend for some theoretical everykid. Some kids are precocious old souls who find being surrounded by older kids exhilarating and mind-expanding. Some kids are anxious and risk-averse and need extra time to fortify their inner resources before starting their decade-plus of mandatory education.
