My son is 5 and just started Kindergarten two weeks ago. The first two days he was fine, then he went through about 4 days of crying. Then he made friends and the crying stopped. Today, though, the crying came back. I've tried having someone else take him, I've tried rewarding him on the days he didn't cry, etc. He says that he misses me and that's why he cries. The crying only lasts for a minute or two, but his teacher is saying that it proves he's not ready for Kindergarten and we should have held him back and started him at 6. I want to help him because I know he's ready for kindergarten, even if he is the youngest in his class. Any ideas on what I can do?
