At what age do you think my son Brandt should start Kindergarten.. he will be either 5 or 6.. which is better? His birthday is in August

It really depends on yourson. Is he ready to go or is he not a fast b;oomer?
Does he have friends in the neiborhood who are his age? Will they be going or waiting? It is really such and individual thing.

I agree with dardenella, milestones and capability play the key role in the decision

I agree as well- each kid is different.

Each child is different. Do you think he can handle Kindergarten better at 5 or 6? Do you think he's developmentally ready? Will he have friends attending kindergarten this year? It really depends on your son.

It depends on the kid. My daughter started Kindergarten here when she was 4 (turned 5 in November. But she went to pre k last year and had been asking to go to school since she was 2 .

What is the school district policy? Go based on that.

My daughter's birthday is Aug 31 and the cut off date for school is Sept 30. She was in a special pre-k program for ADD and lack of hearing due to enlarged addenoids, which were removed at age 3. Since the pre-k program was run through the school system she was closely monitored and they felt she was ready for kindergarten. There were times when I did regret not holding her back but it turns out that the class behind her has a real bad reputation. She is in with a good group of kids which does benefit her.

It is a hard decision to make. While she is now in 10th grade many of her friends have already turned 16 and are starting to drive. She still has to wait until the end of the summer. It is a very difficult decision. Good luck!

If your son seems ready you should..

It all depends on your son, I homeschool and my son just tunred 5 in dec and if he went to publicschool he would not attend kg untill aug of this yr but he will be ready for kg next month. You know your child best.

It is all child dependent. My DD would love to do kindergarten work and she could at 3 1/2. She is just advanced unfortunately she has to wait until she is 5 or we won't get credit for doing it. I have even had to hold off on a k4 program for that reason. If your child is socially and developmentally ready for Kindergarten then send him, if not hold him back another year.
