At the beginning of the year, my daughter doesn't do very well, and by the end of the year (3rd semester), she's well above average. I attribute this to a lack of maturity because she's definitely brighter than average (this comes from my experience as a public school teacher and not my parental pride).

How weird. Now I really need to read it.<BR/><BR/>My daughter's birthday is in September, and the k cutoff at our school is December, so I was worried she'd be behind. I hemmed and hawed about whether to hold her back a year.<BR/><BR/>In the end, I didn't. <BR/><BR/>She didn't read as soon as her brother (who is a March baby) did, and I wondered if I made the right decision.<BR/><BR/>So I totally understand. <BR/><BR/>But remember: You're an involved mom who cares about your child. That gives her a huge edge compared to many kids, who unfortunately don't have that situation.<BR/><BR/>She'll be fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
