School Readiness
I have 3-year-old twin girls who will be turning 4 in May, therefore they
are of age to attend junior kindergarten in the fall. However, one of my girls is much more mature and socially ready to go to school (anxiously!). My other daughter is much more of a baby and also does not seem to have the same social skills, even though she is accustomed to spending time with other kids at the sitter's. Because of their birthdate I could choose to wait another year before sending them. So my question is, what should I do if one is ready and one isn't? Is it fair to hold my daughter back to wait for the other? How can I send one to school and not the other? Can anybody offer advice on this situation? Thanks, Cookie |

Cookie,
What exactly is junior kindergarten? Do they go from that to Kindergarten the following year? If so, I would say just send them both and then reassess when regular K arrives. Chances are, unless she has serious delays, they will both be ready after a year of junior K. Good luck, Ellen |

School Readiness
Here we have two years of kindergarten, junior and senior. JK is not
compulsory, but most kids go. The more I think about, I'm on board with your suggestion. It makes sense to send them both and THEN deal with the issues as (or if) they come up. Chances are they'll both do fine and going to school will help her mature. She doesn't have any major delays. In fact, if she was a singleton I probably wouldn't give it a second thought. It's just that the contrast to her sister makes me feel concerned. Thanks for your advice, Cookie "Ellen" wrote in message oups.com... Cookie, What exactly is junior kindergarten?
