[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am honestly shocked to see how heated this thread has become. We redshirted our late summer neurotypical child because we moved cross country in the summer DC turned 5. With both parents working long hours w/t the option of work from home, we needed to put DC in before and after school care. Moving into a new state means we were late to sign up for SACC. Redshirting DC bought us time to get into the program. On the contrary to what some said that redshirting is a strategy for privileged parents, we needed to stay double income the decision helped us to both remain employed full time.

DC does seem slightly more mature than the on-time classmates but DC isn’t in any particular sport (we don’t really push for that) and academic wise, DC is thriving in a way that DC enjoys school. We never regret redshirting DC, and at the same time, I am surprised by all the controversy surrounding this. [/quote]
