[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. I never considered red shirting him and would never do. He was so academically advanced as a preschooler he had to wait years for the other kids (and the teaching) to catch up with him. He’s still very advanced academically (eg taking calculus in 9th grade). Red shirting him would have just been a waste of a year. That he’s small isn’t an issue, but I am wondering about puberty. [/quote] OP, ask his doctor. I assume you are not examining his genitalia. You seem overly anxious, but talking to his ped can likely put your mind at ease. FWIW, my son just turned 14 and has some signs of puberty - e.g., he has to shave, his voice changed - even though he only 5'4". However, although many of his friends clearly have gone through puberty (tall, muscle mass), he certainly has friends around his height that do not appear to have started. However, of course, I am not examining them for their Tanner stage.[/quote]
