[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 6+ an option in your school? AIM is really fast and challenging even for a math loving kid. 6+ will give him acceleration [/quote]

Also, don’t underestimate the new challenges of middle school for a kid with ADHD. Much bigger demand on executive functioning skills. Ask me how I know :)[/quote]

+100 This is setting a kid up for failure. The transition into middle school for kids with ADHD and anxiety can be so so tough.[/quote]

While I completely agree that the transition can be tough she's saying her child is really unhappy and has high math ability. He can always drop down but why not try to actually provide some intellectual stimulation for a child who is clearly 2e?
Kids who are 2e can have a hard time because people are just really focused on their weaknesses that no one helps with their strengths which make them feel more confident and be happier. I think OP is great for thinking about how to help her child in this way. I don't know if skipping a year of math is the solution but it could be helpful.[/quote]
