holding a child back a year?

[Guest guest]

Have any of you held back your kid for a year BEFORE they even

started school? I have been thinking of having my son start

preschool a year later than normal just to keep him healthy for a

year. He was born in late March so he would be the oldest kid in his

class by at least 4 months. I really want him to go to preschool for

at least 2 mornings a week but not if it is going to make him sick

all the time. The schools don't normally send kids home with just a

runny nose and they only clean the toys during school breaks. YIKES!

Does anyone have any experience keeping their kid healthy during

preschool? I am just desperate for ideas!!
