[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, why would you not addressed it sooner and done more to encourage her to be age appropriate.[/quote]

It is not for the lack of trying. She is very strong willed and self directed. Perhaps redshirting isn't the answer. Perhaps we need another channel to help her calm down and be more child-like. I would love advice.

Also she is not yet four so we haven't exactly waited too late. Most of this rapid advancement has been taking place in the last 8-9 months[/quote]

She is not yet 4 and has another year before starting K even if not redshirted, and you are wondering if you should redshirt now?  You are weird.  A lot can happen in a year.

My DS is a summer baby.  Very advanced. Always has been, but on the small side even compared to other boys born in the summer.  Never ever thought for one minute to redshirt.   When I think about what it would've been like for him if we did redshirt him, he would've been soo bored, and probably caused problems in class out of boredom.  He is in HGC and compacted math now.  We did not push him.    DS hasn't missed out on his early childhood.  I recently asked DS what he thought about K and 1st grade. He said they were awesome because it was like one big playdate.  The academics for him were easy, so he just had a lot of fun with friends.

I think you would be doing your DD a disservice if you redshirted.[/quote]
