[quote=Anonymous]The only people who should have any sway in your decision process are you, your husband, the child's doctor, and of course any daycare/preschool teachers he currently works with. If all of those professionals say he's ready, then send him. I'm the mother of two boys. Both are reasonably young for their classes (late May and late June birthdays) but sent both to school "on time." Not because I'm anti-redshirting, but because by all accounts they were ready to go. There are lots of academic articles out there that weigh the pros and cons of red-shirting from social and academic standpoints. However, by almost all accounts, they say any "advantage" red-shirted children have evens out after just a few years. Do what is right for you and your child. Not what relatives think you should do.
