I have such mixed feelings on the should you delay your child or not.

With our daughter my wife and I decided to have her go forward a year. So she is usually the youngest in her class by a couple of months. Our thought was this gives her another year. A lot of teachers and administrators were against it.

With my nephew, I wish he had been delayed. He's in the third grade going on fourth and I am very worried about him. But, as an Uncle, all I can do is give advice to my brother and sister in law.
