[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering it for our current 4 year-old.  He has a July birthday.  His older brother with a July birthday went in time and it was the right decision for him.  His younger brother is just very immature, a very sensitive kid who still needs lots of one on one attention to stay on task.  [b]His preschool teacher supports redshirting him. [/b] Some kids do fine as the youngest.  Some would do better on the older end.  [/quote]

I know this is an old comment, but I just want to point out that preschool teachers are not the best source to ask about redshirting. Of course they want your business, and teaching a child they already know who is more mature than the other kids will make their job a lot easier.  [/quote]

I agree they aren’t the best source, but I disagree with your reasoning.

First, around here, they aren’t going to have trouble filling your spot.  Second, one extra known/older kid isn’t going to make a meaningful difference in the class as a whole.  Finally, most people aren’t that calculating that they are going to tell you to hold your kid back just to make their life a tiny bit better.[/quote]
