[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont quite understand why parents always factor the childs physical size into whether they should be red shirted. It should just matter where they are academically, socially, emotionally. Why does size have anything to do with it? God forbid your son small next to classmates. Who cares?[/quote] I can’t speak to a boys experience (other than that perhaps smaller boys get picked on?) but I def know it matters for girls. I would be careful about red shirting a girl who was already big for her age. Being the girl with breasts in 3rd grade can cause major insecurity. You could erase any confidence gains by being “older” by that kind of move, and it’s something parents don’t think about when their kids are 5.[/quote]
