We may have a semantic disagreement here, but I don't consider repeating a year in light of a known issue (be it medical, academic, or social) to be redshirting. It may be that 60 Minutes did (I didn't watch the piece), but redshirting in the elementary school context usually means delaying entry to kindergarten in the absence of any known issue.

I wouldn't consider either of your kids to have been redshirted, any more than I'd consider DD's (extremely bright, extremely immature, despite being old-for-grade) classmate who repeated K for maturity reasons to have been.
