[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the entire thread but I do have a boy with a January birthday who is about to turn 15 in 8th grade. We did send him on time to school (age 5 to kindergarten). He received extensive help for being severely dyslexic at school. Last year we moved and the new school, which is private, put him in 8th grade with his peers. After a few weeks, they called and asked that we move him to 7th grade despite his age. It was a tough blow for DS at the time, which is what I think OP is trying to avoid by redshirting early. However, a year later it has turned out to be a good move. In my DS's case, the dyslexia, plus social and physical immaturity, made the move work. I really think it would have been hard though had he hit puberty on-time or early, and you don't really know those things at age 5. Also, we were helped by a move -- so his old friends never knew what happened. [/quote]
