[quote=Anonymous][quote]I wonder about these examples that people post -- I know a child in high school or college who is immature. If only they'd been redshirted, then they wouldn't be immature. Wouldn't they still be immature if they were one year older in high school or college[/quote] The point is that the extra year gives them additional time to mature. We don't all grow and develop at exactly the same rate. So, a kid who is not ready for high school when his birthday places him at the younger end of the age range might do perfectly fine with another year to develop emotionally, socially, and physically. Maturity or immaturity is not a static characteristic, kids gradually become more mature as time goes by. Some grow and develop at a quicker or slower pace than others, even when they are the same age. Kids are all different from one another. What works for one may not work for another. Parents need to make the best decision for their own children. [/quote]
