[quote=Anonymous]Redshirting isn't advantageous at all for a kid that is already ahead academically and cognitively. Late August birthday kid could already read at 3. We knew he would be bored out of his gourd if we redshirted him. He was still the most advanced kid in his class at each grade level, even being more than a year younger than the oldest redshirted kid in class. Behavioral issues and maturity issues work themselves out over time. I really think parents of late summer bday kids should try to get an IQ test or something similar for their kids before redshirting just to make sure they aren't going to exacerbate boredom. Every kid is different, don't base your decision solely on sports![/quote]
