[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the school - at our school, it's extremely common to redshirt even May and June boys. So we felt like we had to for our August boy. We did two years of Pre-K at his private school. Overall, we are happy with the decision.[/quote] OP How did you "pitch" it to the little guy? Did he feel in any way bad relative to peers who progressed to K? [/quote] He didn't care at all! We just told him he was going to stay with his teachers for another year. There were FIVE other little boys in his class who did the same thing, so it was very easy to sell it as "staying with ABC" rather than "XYZ leaving him behind". [/quote]
