[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who redshirt, did you have your child tested by someone (i.e., someone not involved with the current preschool, no self-interest)?[/quote]
Since I am not basing my decision on delays or “academics”, no.[/quote]

If it is social/emotional, then you think its best to ignore it and wait a year vs. getting an evaluation and services/help for your child to catch up.  Sounds like lazy parenting.  My child could do the academics with delays and we sent him.  Far better to send them and let them get the support then ignore the problem hoping it will go away in a year.[/quote]

But sometimes the problem does go away with another year of growing and maturity.  [/quote]

Thank you! I don’t need a professional to tell me tht my DD does better with kids her own age or younger. I have seen it and witnessed it a million times. I wish I could have kept her in my belly 2 more weeks (not even) and we would not be even having this conversation since she was born at 38 weeks and 8 days before the cutoff! Given all of this and the fact that her teachers think she will do better being older, why would EVER not hold her back?!?!? She is smart, but not a genius so I really don’t see the harm in holding her back and only issues with not doing it[/quote]
