[quote=Anonymous]My DD has an end-September birthday. She is tall, and physically very advanced/coordinated. She is also extremely verbal (large vocabulary) and has been the youngest in her group (daycare and preschool) basically from the beginning (this just due to happenstance and because of physical readiness). She is a smart kid, but I don't think she's a child-genius. What she loves best is playing and does not gravitate to sitting down to practice writing, workbooks, etc as her sister did (unprompted) at the same age. She's extremely happy-go-lucky whether she's with older or younger kids. She is absolutely not intimidated by big kids-or anyone- and has a tremendous well of self-confidence.

Is is so terrible that I am considering early entrance to K partly (mainly?) as a matter of convenience? This will simplify our lives tremendously due to where older sister is in school; fact that otherwise she would need to change schools twice (once to repeat pre-K, again for K).

My mother has a late fall birthday, was always the youngest in her class, but graduated valedictorian and never felt out of sync with her peers. She's also a teacher herself, and thinks I have no reason to hesitate with trying early admission to K. (And, I should note, she held back my younger brother who had an August birthday and was emotionally not ready for K).
