[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Redshirting is for kids who are not [b]academically[/b] ready,[/quote] That is a misconception. The kids who benefit are the ones who are not [b]emotionally [/b]ready. Plenty of very bright kids benefit from redshirting if they are immature.[/quote] Any research on this? If you redshirt a very bright, quirky kid (and maybe you interpret quirkiness as immaturity) I think you might end up with a bored, isolated child who can relate even less to her classmates now. Op's child already gravitates to older kids - for the life of me, I cannot understand why sticking her with even younger kids is a good idea?[/quote]
