5 tips for parents of new kindergartners who are younger than their classmates |

A good kindergarten experience sets kids up for success in school and into adulthood. Students in smaller kindergarten classes are more likely to go to college than students from larger classes.

And by age 27, students who had more experienced kindergarten teachers were earning more money than their peers who had less-experienced teachers in kindergarten.

Evidence shows that children who are relatively young for their kindergarten class—those who are only a few weeks or months older than the cutoff rules require—are at increased risk for doing worse in school, being held back a grade, and having lower social-emotional skills. As a result, some families choose to delay their child’s entry into kindergarten, particularly those who can afford to do so.

1. Learning opportunities: Relatively older students have had more time to learn academic skills. To help younger kindergartners catch up with their older classroom peers, families can offer additional learning experiences. This includes engaging the children in more conversations and shared book reading. This can be started during the preschool years and throughout kindergarten.
