Hello everyone, hope you are all well. ((((The Board)))).
Just dropping in to say don't panic and think I've gone a'wandering. I'm flying out to Portugal tomorrow for our holiday and won't have internet access etc (am I really the last person on earth who doesn't have, or want, a smart phone!), so will not be on here for a couple of weeks. I will look forward to catching up with you all when I get back.
Just watched this again a couple weeks ago!
As important as age is the developmental status of the child. Some kids are brighter at 4 than others are at 10. The best thing to do would be to contact your local school board and find out what their guidelines are. You can also have your child tested to see where she is on the developmental scale.
If everything determines that she's too young to start school, there's always the preschool option.
I was six years old and started school in grade one (not kindergarten). As a result I was very shy because I had been kept at home with just my younger brother for company.Thanks LL i feel like she is smart and well behaved for a 3 year old lol. I will be contacting the school board though
My mom talks about how traumatized she was when she was in first grade because she didn't attend preschool or kindergarten. She said when the bell rang for lunch, she walked home thinking it was time to leave for the day and how embarrassed she was. She laughs about it now, but how sad is that?!Preschool allows kids to get used to the social atmosphere of being in a group like that before the "real" thing starts.
Here's a year-by-year guide for ages 2-5 that might help.Thanks people i think school starting soon again here & we were worried about it. I could not remember what age i started in Jamaica and my husband says he started at 5 y/o though.
