How old will your child be when they start college?

My kids also look very young–D has used it to pass as many years younger than she is when she wants to. D has always been socially mature, but we feel it was good that both started school a little later than they COULD have (no cut off for HI public schools, as long as the child turns 5 by 12/31 of the year they start kindergarten).

Have heard more folks who regret now withholding than folks who regret starting them later. The other good thing for our kids is that after preschool, they went to public school & in HS, they went to private school where many of the kids they attended preschool were & they were all in the same grade again (if they had started HS earlier, they would have been in a grade above the kids they went to preschool with).
