[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends. If your son is emotionally immature, and only you will know that, then that might come across in the recommendations, Wppsi, or play date. I have a girl with a May birthdate and she is as smart as they make them, can be as charming as can be, and as sweet as candy, but if she hasn't gotten a nap, sufficient rest, is hungry, or just enough 4 year old love, she is a train wreck. Apparently, non of her typical 4 year old behavior showed itself and she is starting pre-k big 3 in the fall. Now, there are some red-shirt giants that look 8 in Kindergarden, but I don't care about them, I care about my kid and so should you. I felt that she could handle it and more importantly she maintains that she is ready to move on from her Pre school to the big school. Time will tell.  If at the end of the school year, they want her to have "the gift of time" and do Pre-k again, then she will be a giant in Pre-k and more mature.  Best advise is to talk to your preschool, Wpssi tester, and follow your guts. If you think he's ready, go for it. [/quote]

I'm confused by this.  You describe her as needing "4 year old love", and having "4 year old behavior", so I would assume she's 4, but that would make her 5 when she starts PK/  When you say they might redshirt her are you saying she'd start PK the second time at 6?  Or do you in fact have a 3 year old now?
