[quote=Anonymous]My SIL is pressuring us to hold back our August son. She's a middle school teacher, and says that in her experience, many young kids who did fine up until that point start to struggle more than average-age peers then. I'm pretty sure we're going to send him on time (despite being one of the youngest in preK he holds his own pretty well) but she's planted some seeds of doubt in my husband's mind. The most persuasive argument for red-shirting to me is that kids are pushed into a highly structured, really academic day really early now, and I wouldn't mind a bit more time for my child to enjoy his childhood. As I said though, most likely we'll be sending my son on time.[/quote]
