My mom held me back from going to school until I was 7, when the average person went to school at age 5 or 6. I asked her about it the other day, and the reason was "kids need time to be kids". I cannot thank her enough - I never had problems learning throughout my school career, and I was never behind the physical curve either, so did reasonably well in sports as well. I know it's anecdotal but it's something I'd strongly consider if I had kids as well.
