[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is that when people here talk about the advantages of redshirting, it makes those of us who sent our kids on time feel like bad parents somehow. When I tell people that my son has an August birthday, I feel like I have to provide an explanation for why he started K at age 5.[/quote] This is how insecure we are as parents! I am redshirting mine and feel judged becAuse I was not able to raise a tougher kid. Why would feel bad! If your son is ready and doing well you should only be proud! If he is at the same level of redshirted kids you should also be very proud and if he is not, you should still be proud because he is likely almost a year younger than most kids. On the other hand if you think he is struggling then maybe you should think about holding him Back![/quote]
