As a parent with kids already "getting up there" - I wish I had held them back. Even my bio son. He is young for his grade and although we would never do anything about it now...if I could go back, I would not have sent him so soon. The level of work that schools expect at younger and younger ages is HARDER than you can imagine. Fifth graders are writing essay papers that I know I didn't do until high school. We are struggling now with the thought of holding a child back a year - and once they have started that is an impossible (rock and hard place) decision.
If you like his pre-school, my advice would be give him another year there. No one has ever been sorry that their child was "too bright" for school!!!
