I can tell you right now, our decision for DS is already made. He is just three right now but has a mid-July birthday and our school district has a September 1 cutoff. He will be starting pre-school in August as a newly turned 4 yo, pre-K at newly turned 5, and K at newly turned 6. All for social and emotional need not based on intelligence.
DD started K this year less than 2 weeks after turning 5. Big mistake in my perfect 20/20 hindsight. She is very smart...and very social but was not emotionally ready. Of course her friend who was in her class dying 2 months ago has not helped. She is the smallest in her class (and I believe out of all of the approx. 100 students in K.) She is being bullied by one of the already turned 6 yo girls. This has caused a huge set back in her emotional well being and attachment. Yes my kiddo who never showed any attachment issues is now showing some very anxious tendencies.
In my research on this, I have yet to find a single instance of someone who has regretted the hold-back decision and many who have not held back regretting that decision...including us.
Good luck.
