[quote=Anonymous]I'm totally blown away by the idea that someone would "redshirt" a kid born in May. I get doing it with an August birthday, but May? My DS was born in April, and it never even occurred to me. Since I have a summer birthday, I actually perceived him as being one of the "older" kids in the class in comparison to my experiences! There are 14 pages of this, and I'm not going to read them all, but I think the OP needs to just let go of the guilt. You made a decision, it was based on reasons you feel are good, and and you need to live with it. Don't hide his age, and don't lie about it. Your kid will hear this and will think there's something wrong with him. Just be honest, and if someone asks why he isn't in a higher grade, that's on them, not you. And you can simply say that you felt it would be better for him based on his early experiences in preschool. Conversation over.[/quote]
