[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]. . . I believe in red-shirting, but I don't think it's right for every kid and I think to determine if it's best for your kid we would need to know the insights from the teachers and any other professionals involved (assistants, person who conducted the WPPSI). . .[/quote] Not OP, but a parent confronting similar issues. I'd like to hear more from folks like the PP quoted here, who have developed nuanced views as to when red-shirting is in the child's best interests. What are key variables to consider (birthdate? gender? academic precocity? fine or gross motor development? size? likely cohort birthdate spread? birth order? temperament? others?), and how much weight would you assign to each? Many thanks in advance! [/quote]
