Your preschooler is getting older and it’s time to start thinking about kindergarten but you aren’t quite sure whether or not he’s ready. Maybe he’s just a little bit shy of kindergarten age and you aren’t sure whether to go ahead and enroll him, making him the youngest kid in the class, or to hold off a year, putting him perhaps a year behind everyone else. Or perhaps you know that your child is technically age appropriate for kindergarten but don’t know if he’s really got the social skills necessary to do well in school yet.

| Like it or not, you’re going to have to let your child go at some point. Kindergarten is often one step in that ongoing process. But you don’t want to do it too early. If you know that your child doesn’t have the basic motor and listening skills, social abilities or academic foundation to start kindergarten, go ahead and wait a year. But if your hesitations are more about your need to hang on than your child’s ability to grow, then you might have to admit that kindergarten readiness isn’t the problem. |
