This has turned out to be quite the topic today...My two cents... I think that holding a kid back is the option that a parent has...The only thing I will say is that most of the time it is done for athletic reasons and not the excuses that most parents give. Most of the time it is telling a kid that dont work hard to excel just stay back and you will be older and stronger and do better against younger competition. It is also one thing to hold a kid back once but when it is done twice then that is purely done for athletic reasons and some parents are just trying to relive their lives thru the lives of their kids. There are some exceptions but not many...
