[quote=Anonymous]I’m redshirting my girl that will be 5 in September. I have agonized over it and asked my people for their opinions. My husband was born in August and was red shirted. He loved being the oldest. I was born in October (but lived in NY where there’s a later cutoff) and started on time. I was fine in elementary school but think I would have benefitted from being older in high school. I have never met anyone that regretted red shirting. Also I don’t see any rush to have my kids leave the house a year earlier than necessary. The counter viewpoint that I think is worth considering is the puberty factor. Being the first girl with breasts or a period does kind of suck. But I was a very late bloomer so hopefully my DD won’t have that problem. [/quote]
