As I mentioned, my son turned 5 the week before K started. Our district doesn't allow repeating pre-K. I wouldn't have held him back anyway.
My son actually matured by going ahead to K. My son kept on the babyish behavior as long as he was with younger kids. He still does.
My son doesn't/can't follow directions either. But, being in school has helped to find out why. It isn't because he's immature, it isn't because he's a brat, it's because he has CAPD. So when more than 1 person is speaking, he cannot pick out 1 voice to follow.
And getting this DX may never have happened if I hadn't mentioned something regarding his spelling tests to the principal. His SLP wanted to test him out of speech.
Will your child's maturity be held back by holding him back? (as mine was) or will maturity advance by being held back?
