He has a summer birthday. So he is among the older boy in his grade. We held him back for maturity and size. Not academics. We did not realize his abilities/situation would be so bad when he started 1st grade. We thought they have a gifted program so that might be good. We thought 2nd grade would be better but it felt like being hit with a reality brick. I wish I could just feel comfortable like so many here that would just put their kids ahead. I just have to know more rather than making so many changes which are hard for him.
