[quote=Anonymous]If you are still checking I recommend waiting a year.  Your son will likely be fine if he goes on time and many people are posting about academics and being bored in elementary.  That all levels out by middle school and the social concerns hit hard.  You will very much appreciate he is a year older in the teen years.  I have one with a spring birthday and one with a fall birthday, who just missed the cut off.  Everything had been easier for my child who is on the older side.

My son with the spring birthday wouldn’t have been redshirted but he has quite a few friends with summer birthdays who were. Being on the young side is harder in the teen years.  Everyone is driving earlier and doing everything else earlier.  As a parent, it was a constant stress of the friend group going out to wherever and my kid wanting to go too.  That could be riding their bikes to go out to eat in elementary or getting in cars as teens.  You will appreciate he’s a year older in whatever grade he’s in when this happens.  [/quote]
