[quote=Anonymous]Funny that this is called redshirting for kindergarten kids. I do know some parents who held their kids back to be older/bigger for sports. I have an August boy who was on the very shy side. Being youngest in his class would have been a problem, so we waited for him to be older. As we were considering this, we also talked to my neighbor, who worked at a HS. He said in these cases, when he met HS parents, most that had held their kids back were glad they did, and many of those that did not wish they had. I also heard from my friend something that stuck with me: You are either gaining an extra year of childhood or an extra year of adulthood, and childhood goes fast enough as it is. It was definitely the right choice for us. [/quote]
