[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2 boys in our family with summer bdays less than a week apart. One went on time, the other waited a year. Both sets of parents made the correct call for their kid. Two very different kids who are both doing well academically and socially 5 years later.

Both kids have awesome summer swim bdays though![/quote]

How do you know the held back kid would not have been just fine in the proper grade.  In summer swim the kids talk about ages and grades as well as classes. [/quote]
What does it even mean that kids talk?

My kid will be a 10 yo rising 6th grader next summer.  That means she'll be separated from all of her friends/classmates for all practices, relays, social events, etc. I'm sure it will be discussed that she's still grouped with the elementary aged kids while her friends/classmates are with the middle school group.  If we'd redshirted then she'd be grouped with  her classmates instead of the younger grade.

(She has a September birthday, so she'd be in the younger swim age group regardless of the cutoff.)[/quote]
