I believe in letting a child grow at their own pace. I think you are making a wise decision holding him back. Samantha just turned six. In k4 (which she just finished), they were required to write their name, count to 20, know their address and phone number. Socially, they played pretend games like dress-up or kitchen together. Samantha is still in a side-by-side mode with classmates but plays very detailed involved pretend stuff with her sister who is 9. Samantha is used to being around older kids.
