Mostly.) Flash forward.įlash forward nearly five years, and I no longer care. Maybe start in private school, maybe test into an older grade or maybe sneak him in to kinder. When all my efforts failed, I just decided to wait a few years and try a better plan. and can tell you that that thing is watermarked. But not one to give up, once the baby was born, on his due date, I examined the birth certificate to see if I could maybe just delete one number to make it look like September 1 was the birthday. and from the stomach cramps and no baby, I was reminded that I was indeed going crazy.

So, then I decided to try all the old-wives-tricks for inducing labor a week early. He politely told me I was crazy, that the baby was not ready and that my insurance would not cover it. So, when I realized I would likely hit my due date, I did my best to convince my doctor to induce me early. but on September 2, I was forced to wait a year. If the baby was born on September 1, I could pick. I knew full well that sometimes holding a child back because of maturity was better. With my oldest kids being summer babies, I found it hard to take that my next child would have to wait a full year to enter school, just because he was born in mid-September. but if you were born September 2, you have to wait a full year.

So, if you were born on September 1, you can go to kindergarten. In Texas, in order to attend kindergarten, kids must be 5 years old by September 1. Start school or wait a year for kindergarten? Should you be holding a child back because of maturity?
