[quote=Anonymous]I have an August birthday; I think where/when I grew up the cutoff was late October. My older brother has a mid-Sept birthday. We both started on time--for me, I was barely 5, and he was 4 for the first few weeks. I was always, always the smallest kid in the class and never played sports (though I don't think this had anything to do with age). I would not call myself a "leader" then or now, but I was happy in school, did well, and always had friends. Ditto for my brother--he played sports, didn't excel but always did well, and much more so than me, he always marched to the beat of his own drummer and was more of a leader socially. When I asked my brother what he thought about redshirting (I have a small, smart, June-birthday DS) he told me, "I think kids act their grade much more than they act their age" and said a few things about positive peer pressure that sealed my decision to have DS start on time.[/quote]
