[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Redshirting is the right move for kids who are delayed or have specific problems. If not, it's a selfish move based on entitlement and insecurity. [/quote] Maybe, but if the child has a special need like ADHD or autism, that is not going to go away with the gift of time. My dd's 2nd grade teacher mentioned holding back dd and having her repeat 2nd grade (she has a winter bday), but her ADHD wasn't going to disappear. All the same issues would be there. Dd moved ahead, and she is doing great. She had a lot of supports in 3rd grade, and we finally decided to try meds towards the end of 3rd grade. Now in 4th, she has been described as organized, eager, and smart. The teachers read her IEP from last year, and say that she isn't the same kid. [/quote]
