Two studies
examined the effect of school entrance age on the social acceptance
and self-perceptions of kindergarten and first-grade children. Teachers'
ratings and peer nominations described initial social problems in
youngest children, which were overcome by first grade. Found no
differences in self-reported school adjustment, loneliness, perceptions
of competence, or acceptance related to school entry age. (HTH)
