If they are young for their grade (say, summer babies), I'm an advocate for starting them in kindergarten next year. My girls turned 7 in May and will be starting 1st grade next week. We chose to start them in kindergarten at age 6 (after a false start at 5) because they simply were NOT ready. Sure, they're older than their classmates, but we don't see it as a problem. Physically, they are tiny...so they fit right in with the younger kids.

JMHO!
