[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, my kid has a similar birthday and we didn't redshirt. I'd say academically, developmentally DC is fairly average but the emotional/ social development that we saw first year of school is remarkable and the age gap is obvious to only us ( as we know the birth date)[b] but without knowing that one wouldn't think that DC shouldn't/ doesn't belong in that cohort.[/b] You can always hold back another year if you feel like your kid needs more time. But give them a chance first.[/quote]

This. DS has early-October birthday. I am actually thinking about either petitioning to send him early or to send him to a private K (early), because he definitely fits into that cohort and not the year younger. He is the youngest kids in his preschool, but he is tall and very verbal, so you cannot tell that he does not belong. There is, however, a noticeable gap to the kids that are in the younger class at his preschool. We sent him early to preschool thinking that he will just repeat the first year, but he has been doing great and his teachers have been recommending to move him along. [/quote]
