[quote=Anonymous]All four of my kids have skipped either kinder, 1st or 2nd.  The key is that when they skip into the next grade, they need to be near the top of that grade too.  Otherwise eventually it will catch up to them and they will struggle. My kids are all born late August to late November.  One was just turning 17 when starting college, and the other 3 are 16 when starting and turn 17 a couple of months in.

My son was a little bummed about not being able to drive in HS, and other than that was relieved to not be bored in school. Once he got to college, he wasn't the only super smart kid anymore.  My oldest DD recalls a moment in 6th grade when everyone found out she was a bit younger and a kid said, "Quick what's 3 times 30?" and after she gave an answer he was like "Yep, you belong here."  I think there was some surprise when one of my girls had her 13th birthday party and people were surprised to find out she was only turning 13 but most everyone showed up and celebrated.  [/quote]
