[quote=Anonymous]I realize that the redshirting topic has been heavily addressed on these boards, but I'm hoping that my question is a bit more specific. My child, a Fourth Grader, is enrolled in an area private school. He has a late July birthday, and we followed the school's advice to keep him with his current grade even though a fair number of the children are 9-14 months older. He is doing well academically, but does seem less "teenagers-ish" than his peers and is lacking a bit in self-confidence. We are hoping to transfer him to a different private school this year and were wondering if this might be a good time to readjust his grade level back a year. I've been told that it is most common to hold back summer-birthday children in the area privates and that he would most likely be significantly younger than his classmates in the new school. Has anyone been in a similar situation? [/quote]
