[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first grader has asked me why some kids in his class turn 7 at the same time as the kids in the older grade. What am I supposed to tell him? His mom thinks he’s shy?

The other kids are noticing.[/quote]

I've actually noticed the opposite.  My kids (4th and 5th grade) and their friends look up to the older (redshirted) kids.  They wish they were the oldest kids.  [/quote]

My younger kid asks if they are dumb (not using those words).  He thinks they aren't as smart and doesn't look up to them.[/quote]

You need to teach your child some manners. Work on that. [/quote]

[b]My child has great manners but reality is something is off if kids are held back a year, especially when they are summer birthday kids.[/b][/quote]

Not necessarily PP. My son is among the oldest in his class and it gives him an advantage over being the youngest. Call redshirting cheating or whatever you want. I could care less. As all parents do in some shape and form, I do what is best for my children so that they can have as pleasant and successful experiences as possible. It is called parenting.[/quote]
