I'm a February kid, and I went early. I excelled at school, all the way through, but I definitely wish I was held back. I always felt more comfortable with the grade below me. I was definitely stunted socially and it didn't help with high school sports either.
If you're worried a kid will be bored, get them a hobby. All of our kids started music lessons at four. There are ways to keep your children engaged without putting them behind for the next 15 years.
