Has anyone done this? > Here in Oz - children born in December (the school year runs from Feb to December) often start at school the next year - so that they are old for their year rather than very young. DS2 has a December birthday and will be 7 this year, but a few kids in his class will be 8 at around the same time. It is thought of as quite acceptable to do this - and certainly helps some children. For my own part - DS2 has coped this last year very well with being a youngster in his class. How they will approach it in the UK - I don't know. Debbie Slater Perth, WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
