[quote=Anonymous] At that age, I would be patient for little while longer, OP - I know it's hard. Supplement by broadening her horizons, reading and going to museums, starting an instrument, doing math and word puzzles, building with Legos. This is because developmentally it's MUCH better to have a very strong foundation for the basics. It is also practically never appropriate to skip ahead - I was skipped, and felt out of my depth, emotionally and socially. Are you in a public school system that offers magnet schools or gifted centers? Could you start thinking about this - in FCPS the selection procedure starts in 2nd grade, I believe, and in MCPS it's in 3rd. These schools are NOT for gifted children, in spite of the name. They are for high-achieving and advanced students, like your daughter. Enjoy your time with your little one! [/quote]
