[quote=Anonymous]This is a highly polarizing topic, so before the discussion turns rabid, here’s my advice:

Children aren’t widgets. Some are ready earlier than others, some may be ready in some ways but need more time in others. There is no universal rule, which is why they allow parents the option to redshirt. You know your child best, so go with your gut. If you have questions, you can talk to your child’s preschool teacher, their pediatrician, or even the elementary school. You’re not locked into anything and still have time to readjust if something comes up unexpectedly.  While there’s no perfect solution, and you may at times second guess whatever decision you make, whichever decision you make you’ll find a way to work.

It sounds like your boy is right on track and (not having met him) I can’t imagine why you’d hold him back.  The main thing is that because he has a parent who cares enough to worry about decisions like these, you’ll make sure he gets whatever he needs to thrive. [/quote]
