[quote=Anonymous]I have a late June girl who we didn’t redshirt because her preschool teacher insisted she was ready. From my perspective, she was clearly a smart kid, but also quite socially rigid. Kids liked her when she was little, but I wasn’t always sure why! She had to control play— to decide what was happening next. Anyway, that k year was the almost fully virtual year (9/20-6/21). So, she lost a lot of ground socially and we’ve been trying to make it up and work on her social skills… and general emotional regulation ever since. She’s in third grade and she no longer automatically says no to all non-school activities. She started dance. She won’t do after school stuff anymore because she likes to decompress. She is attempting to make new friends beyond the one best friend who was her anchor k-2. Her academics are strong and I just got an email that she has been flagged for enrichment by the county. It is a mixed bag. :)

I sometimes ponder if our path would have been easier if she were a year older. Maybe I won’t really know until middle school. We are doing some testing this year so we can figure out if we need to do more for her emotional regulation and attention issues. Good luck with your decision. I think it will work out either way.[/quote]
