Well I have had only one experience with a 5 year old so far. She seemed on target to me until her teachers told me she didn't follow directions well and seemed spacey. She also didn't join in in group stuff....would want to do her own thing. She ended up repeating Kindergarten (but at a different school) and her teachers told me the same thing but by the end of the year, she had made huge steps socially and academically without any intervention. She just needed more time to grow, that's all. I remember trying to teach her myself back when she was 3. She had no interest and I remember thinking something is wrong with her. This went on for a few years and then all of a sudden, she decided she wanted to learn all those basics and she taught herself in no time at all.
I'm now homeschooling her so she can grow at her own pace. So far so good!
