由于情感和社交准备,而不是年龄问题,澳大利亚父母越来越多地将儿童留在幼儿园,直到一年。 Australian parents are increasingly holding kids back a year in kindergarten due to emotional and social readiness, not age.

澳大利亚各地的家长越来越多地将孩子的入学推迟到幼儿园第二年,其驱动因素是人们对情感、社会和行为准备状态的关切,而不是仅仅对年龄的关切。 Parents across Australia are increasingly delaying their children’s school entry for a second year of kindergarten, driven by concerns over emotional, social, and behavioral readiness rather than age alone. 专家注意到,幼儿园复发率从3%上升到10%,调查显示,三分之二的家长由于焦虑、家庭里程碑和儿童保育费用等因素而计划阻止儿童上学。 Experts note a rise in repeated kindergarten from 3% to 10%, with surveys showing two-thirds of parents planning to hold children back due to factors like anxiety, family milestones, and childcare costs. 许多家庭报告受益,包括信心增强和过渡更加平稳。 Many families report benefits, including improved confidence and smoother transitions. 决策越来越多地以个人发展为基础,而不是以社会期望为基础,为发育迟缓的儿童提供免费的二年级幼儿园。 Decisions are increasingly based on individual development, not societal expectations, with free second-year kindergarten available for children with developmental delays.
