[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the kid, OP. There seems to be such a focus on these boards WRT redshirting and gender but the fact is, some kids do fine being the youngest regardless of their gender, and some do not. My DD is one of the oldest not by choice (she's got a mid-October bday and missed the cutoff). She would have done fine being one of the youngest in the next grade, but she's a younger sibling, always been very independent and able to advocate for herself. One of her good friends is the absolute youngest in their grade (late summer bday) and is thriving too. Another friend is about a month older than my DD and had repeated K after not having a good experience as the youngest. So if you've got experts recommending that your DD hang back, there is probably a reason for it.[/quote]
