If you redshirted your kid you did it for a reason and you don’t get to stop the rest of us from being annoyed at not having the same opportunity.,

Just as long as you don't get annoyed [i]at[/i] the redshirted kid. It wouldn't be fair to be annoyed with someone for something they had no say in. For all you know, said redshirted kid would have started on time had it been up to them.[/quote]

I feel bad for the kids and the few we know are poorly behaved and parents don't monitor things and are checked out. We've had to restrict friendships as the behavior was so off the hook on the group chats and other things.[/quote]

I've never encouraged playdates with kids like yours for mine, as he was off the chart for height and most kids couldn't keep up with him physically and athletically. He spent the first day in private K doing cartwheels 😆 In K, he was mostly playing with kids from his soccer,  baseball,  and rugby teams, who were in 4th grade. However,  academically, he was ready, as he was reading fluently by Christmas and was able to write Santa. Don't feel bad for him, he's 6'4 now and a freshman at MIT. He'll rule the world one day, he's still incredibly competitive and intense. So, for us, holding him back was the right choice.  His older brother with a winter birthday and the calmest personality went on time and he's also doing great - he's at Brown in the PMLE program.  There's no right approach,  just listen to your child and assess their needs. And, most importantly,  stop judging.  [/quote]
