[quote=Anonymous]We sent our August birthday girl to Kindergarten on time, even though she was smaller than most of the other girls, was rarely a "leader" in the class, etc. We asked her pre-school teachers as well as a Kindergarten teacher in our neighborhood, and they all said she was ready. We asked our pediatrician, who also agreed that our daughter was ready to start Kindergarten. Now looking back (since our daughter is in 4th grade), we are glad we did not redshirt her. She's now a leader in her classroom. She's grown so much in her social skills. Academically she's doing beautifully. She wasn't bored by an extra year in pre-K and she is very happy in school and with her friends. As others have posted, it's your choice. But please do not think that it is just about Kindergarten. So much evens out by the time they reach 3rd/4th grade. Good luck![/quote]
