Hi, hoping someone can help me with this. My little one isn't 4 until mid August and I feel he's really young to be starting Reception Class. I've had first hand experience with my oldest who started school when he had only just turned 4. I always felt he wasn't at the right stage of development and was at a disadvantage due to his age.
I'm a teacher myself, but I do feel our 'system' expects our tots to be responsible so quickly, reading and writing at an age when many other cultures are still allowing the children to learn purely through play.
Has anyone else considered this or indeed can you delay their start date?
Thanks!
