My son started school at age 5-October 1st was the cut off. His birthday is Sept 30 so he made it by 1 day. It hurt him becasue he was a year younger than all his classmates and struggled in school. He was held back in the third grade to be where he should be. It was a hard decision for us as parents because we were worried about the other kids giving him a hard time. We got over it and the year difference has paid off. He has went from struggling in school to getting straight A's right now and he is now in 5th grade. His maturity has been a blessing in and out of school with other kids HIS AGE now.
As far as sports, yes he plays sports. baseball, football and basketball.
We play by age so it was not a benefit to hold him back due to sports right now. But,, I dont think a kid should be held back just to let him play sports.
Romans 14:11
It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.' "
