Redshirting and Repeating Kindergarten
How to Tell If Your Summer-Birthday Child Is Ready to Start at Five or Should Wait a Year, and What to Do When the Teacher Wants Them Held BackBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 47m
About this audiobook
Your child has a summer birthday, and suddenly everyone has an opinion. The preschool teacher hints at another year. Your partner was the youngest in class and turned out fine. Grandma says to hold him back so he'll be a leader. Online, a thread with hundreds of replies says everything and its opposite. Or maybe the question arrived from the other direction: the kindergarten teacher has just told you your child should repeat the year. Redshirting and Repeating Kindergarten gives you a calm, fair way to make this one-time decision on purpose, based on your actual child, the actual school and your actual family, instead of a hunch, a headline or a stranger's story. This isn't a readiness workbook full of letter drills, a first-day-jitters guide or a special-education manual. It's a decision guide. It lays out every real option and the rules that shape them, explains honestly what research can and can't tell you, and walks you step by step to a written decision you can stand behind, whether that means starting on time, waiting a year, repeating kindergarten or moving up with support.
