Australian parents are increasingly holding kids back a year in kindergarten due to emotional and social readiness, not age.
Parents across Australia are increasingly delaying their children’s school entry for a second year of kindergarten, driven by concerns over emotional, social, and behavioral readiness rather than age alone.
Experts note a rise in repeated kindergarten from 3% to 10%, with surveys showing two-thirds of parents planning to hold children back due to factors like anxiety, family milestones, and childcare costs.
Many families report benefits, including improved confidence and smoother transitions.
Decisions are increasingly based on individual development, not societal expectations, with free second-year kindergarten available for children with developmental delays.
