[quote=Anonymous]You're considering having your child repeat first grade because she is short? Not due to struggling academically or socially or having a late birthday but because she is a few inches shorter than some of her peers? That is completely nuts. If she has complex needs you did not address in your post that would warrant repeating a year, then yes. FWIW, my DD is 7 and in 2nd grade. She turns 8 over the summer. She is about two inches taller and two pounds heavier than your child and a full academic year ahead. I would never, ever have her repeat a grade because she was not as tall as other students. She is also far from the smallest in her grade. [/quote]
