[quote=Anonymous]My DS was not redshirted and has a late June birthday. Overall, it's been fine, his academics are solid, and his maturity level fits with his peers. He's a high school freshman now. That said, I would have nothing against holding a July birthday back. There isn't a downside. There is no big rush to get him into college. Any tiny bit of maturity that you can eke out of him by being a year older before his freshman year of college is a bonus. My DS is at the delayed end of the puberty curve, which sucks for him. That's his natural course and he would be behind on that metric even if he was still an eighth grader. It would give him more breathing room, though. But, you can't predict it. IMO, hold him back if you want to because it'll be fine either way.[/quote]
