[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...and sometimes you find you have the opposite problem.
we did not redshirt a july birthday kid but found that a lot of the summer sports programs require you to turn a certain age by the BEGINNING of the summer.

so our DC was not eligible for a certain swim camp until one year after her classmates. (they said you had to be six by june 20 or whenever the camp started and she turned six a month later.)

at a soccer sports camp she was grouped with kids one year below her for the first month until she "caught up" with her classmates.

not quite sure why the programs were so strict but it could have to do with some league requirements?

so you can find awkwardness whatever you decide.[/quote]

Yes, this happened with my now 6yo who is turning 7 in November.  She was not allowed to join the ballet company until she is 7 at the time it BEGINS.  So she is in with the 5- and 6-yos for another year.  Whatever.  It's fine.  We started at a new place so it's actually helping her gain confidence as she gets used to it and she has another full year to have fun and gain skills. It is what it is.[/quote]
