I have a 4 YO Boy, turns 5 in May and we are bridging him. We sat down with our teacher and she recommended that he stay. Less because of the academics and more because of the rigor of the day + because there's very little downside to it.

^ can attest to it being hard but the discipline and routine and feedback from it carries over and makes it well worth it.

Has anyone read "The Anxious Generation" and if so, have you thought about holding smartphones from your kids til' 16? Tough topic, I know, but he talks about parents creating this community where it's more of a norm for a kid NOT to have a phone! Super interested to hear?
