[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what kindergarten will look like next year (recess? circle time? etc), and I'm nervous about the amount of people who redshirted this year making next year's cohort huge. Would it be crazy to redshirt next year? DC has a spring birthday but is tall, but has some speech disorders we're dealing with in speech therapy.[/quote]

Definitely hold him back.  Focus on speech.  Then he can work on social skills in k when he’s better able to engage with his peers.[/quote]

OP never mentioned social skills.  Don't just focus on speech.  Kids need academics too.  Been there, done that.[/quote]

They don’t “need” academics.  BTDT too.[/quote]

Yes, they do.  Keeping a child home at 5, no academics with a language disorder makes no sense when 5 is a critical time.

OP, do DL if a parent is home to support or if you have to pay for child care either way, then pay for K.  It will be equal costs.  You don't want to avoid academics at age five as if there are academic concerns, the longer you wait to identify concerns and get help the harder it will be for your child, especially with things like reading.[/quote]
