[quote=Anonymous]We thought about red shirting our child early in elementary school because of a variety of developmental delays, but opted not to in the end. Unfortunately, those maturation delays of about 1-2 years for certain milestones were painful. By the time college came around everything evened out, I think the years of being behind left a few scares. Also, we never thought to much about birthdays when the kids were small. However, when they were in high school we noticed that some of the kids were getting their drivers licenses significantly earlier than the other kids. Some of the kids who got their drivers licenses early were class leaders athletically and scholastically. It still makes me wonder of their parents made the choice we did not make. I wonder if many years ago they chose to red shirt their child. Thinking back on it now I think that would have been the better choice for our family. [/quote]
