This situation is completely stressing me out, looking for advice from experienced parents. Our daughter is our one and only, so it’s a steep learning curve here.She did 2 years of academic preschool and she did wonderful. Never any issues with attachment and always plays well with others. We’ve had her in gymnastics, dance, tball etc. so she was very well socialized. My sister is a school psychologist and tested her, she had no concerns with her starting kindergarten this year. Her birthday was the beginning of October, so I had to waiver her. Ugh.The teacher spoke to me 2 weeks into school and said she was having problems “developmentally” and was crying when they worked on any lessons that required stamina. So I developed a behavior plan, used a sticker chart, worked with her every night on lessons. That worked for awhile. Now she’s coming home every day super upset, begging to go back to preschool. I can tell she’s anxious and she asks every day if she can stay home. I requested a meeting with the teacher tomorrow, but my gut is telling me she is just not ready for this. I cant get her into a young 5s class until January. My concern is that she’ll spend the first half of every year trying to play catch up to the older kids if I leave her in.Does anyone have any experience with this? I already know I shouldn’t have pushed her, I’m beating myself up enough over it. I just want to do what I can before she winds up completely hating school. Thanks for sharing!Edit: just to clarify, she just turned 5. Cutoff here is Sept 1, and most of the kids in her class are 6 or close to turning 6. So shes one of the few who are almost a full year behind the others. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2ShaYRW
