[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is anecdotal, but in my kid's day care the only kid i know being redshirted actually has a late September birthday, which is well within the fealm of reasonable. An extra $18k is a lot to pay for that![/quote]

I’m a sahm who redshirted, all of the kids that I know in her grade who were redshirted have sahms as well. [/quote]

[b]I honestly feel like this has more to do with kids who aren't in full time preschool being less socially prepared. [/b]I'm thinking through real life examples and the only redshirt I know is also from a SAHM, and I recall her saying "he just likes to be home, he's not ready for a full day program yet". My summer birthday boy has been in full day preschool since infancy, and perhaps that's why I don't hesitate to send him on time.

Seems like this has way more to do with nuture than nature?[/quote]

This is not true at all.  The redshirted kids I know, including my daughter were definitely prepared, and they all went to preschool (although not full time).  It was simply because the families were able to afford it. [/quote]
