I had a student one year who sounds similar to your son. His kindergarten teacher and I felt this student could catch up with peers if given another year of kindergarten. His mother agreed. The end of the next year, he scored in the top 10% of his class in math and reading, which meant he would no longer need my classroom (for students with the highest needs).
I also held my own child back in another year of preschool. This has helped tremendously in all academic areas and self-esteem. No longer struggling to keep up!
Good luck to you and your son; keep giving that extra support so he doesn't lose ground. It pays off!

If your child is having difficulty getting adjusted, find out why. There can be many reasons as to why your child, doesnt want to go. As a parent, I go through this yearly, this last year we started out but we ended up really liking school. The teacher and my child hit it off. Children feed of off emotions. We have a male teacher for a male child and it works wonderfully.
