In Australia, delaying a child’s entry into school has increased. Many factors for this include parents of child delaying is the child’s birthday date and the school cut off date. Many families also feel that children can have emotional and social problems that make them not ready for school at an early age.

Delayed school admittance has risen in Australia by nearly double. The cause for this increase in delayed admittance can be traced to a few main reasons mentioned in the article such as age and emotional and social readiness.

Parents have even used their own experiences being the youngest in the class and the oldest in the class to make such judgements. Parents are filled with confusion and stress when they have to make such an important decision. The study is trying to figure out ways to help parents with this process.
Australian researchers Bob Perry and Sue Dockett contend that while deciding when a child is ready for school should involve consideration of child, family, school and community issues, it is often the child’s characteristics that take precedence in evaluation.
