[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We redshirted my DD. She was born 5 days before the cutoff and was socially/emotionally immature. It was a great choice for her. [b]She has never been the oldest in the class as there are always June-July kids that are redshirted[/b]. She has always been in private and from her preschool years,[b] I can’t think of any girl or boy with a May-August birthday who went on time.[/b] All of this to say that my DD was never an exception. 
My middle (like one PP above) has an end of October birthday and she would have been fine/great being the youngest. Her best friends are a girl 3 week older than her and a girl 8 months younger. It makes no difference when they are 8+[/quote]

OP here. This is helpful. When we asked why, we were told because of her birthday and [they] are having the conversation with many other families in the same position. They could not (or did not) indicate anything in particular from her interview/playdate that made them concerned. From our limited view, it seems the school (private) is making a shift to these new cutoffs. We have an older son at the school who was redshirted (same early summer birth month), but it was, more or less, an easy yes.

What about during puberty and such? That was where my mind went with being the oldest.[/quote]
