[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you just sort of figure this out as the school year starts and your child is invited to various bday parties, or your child is in soccer/other activities and [b]you realize that one or two kids are notably older/taller than the others[/b] (or the kid mentions how old s/he is).  You realize how many are older -- but it's usually not that many.  Statistically, only 25% are going to be summer bdays, right?  And only a portion of those are going to hold their kids back.

If a kid (or his or her parent) mentions how old he or she is, that is one thing. But don’t just assume that a kid who looks older/is taller was redshirted (or that a smaller kid is young for his or her grade for that matter). I know several kids who are both among both the tallest & the youngest in their respective classes (FWIW, the reverse is true, as well).[/quote]

AMEN!
DS is super tiny.  He'll always be tiny.  People have asked if he's "playing up" in soccer.  Height is a crappy approximation for age.[/quote]
