Is delaying kindergarten good for the child?

According to a new study, delaying a child's entry into kindergarten is actually good for the child. Especially for the child's mental health. Professor Thomas Dee who co-authored the study with Hans Henrik Sievertsen of the Danish National Centre for Social Research, has said, "We found that delaying kindergarten for one year reduced inattention and hyperactivity by 73% for an average child at age 11." Countries like Finland and Germany follow this system, and actually seem to be doing well. What do you feel mums, is it better for our children to start kindergarten a little later?

I started my daughter at 2 months old. I think sending to school early is good for the kids. My daughter now speaks 3 languages (she is 2.5)
