[quote=Anonymous]Redshirting is hotly contested on DCUM, but I’m of the opinion there’s no right (or wrong) answer. Kids are different. Moreover, every child is multi-dimensional with varying strengths and weaknesses. They may simultaneously be precocious, on grade level, and behind on different criteria. I think parents know their kids best and should go with their gut. A teacher’s perspective an be a valuable data point and should be considered, but ultimately do what seems best for your child and family. Whichever way you go, there will almost certainly be problems that might have been better going the other way. Just know that if you’d gone the other way, you’d have had other issues to deal with. Pick a path and deal with where you are, without second guessing yourself. I feel that as concerned as you are to be seeking advice about this issue, you’ll provide your son the support he needs to succeed regardless of your choice. [/quote]
