[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not do this. Think about middle school and high school. Such a disadvantage. They get into all the things their peers get into but your DD will be a full year younger than a good number of her classmates and in general, the youngest one in the whole class. Just no.[/quote] +1. My mom was a high school guidance counselor for 25 years and always commented how parents would push their kids ahead in age and then be so surprised when things went terribly downhill in high school. They had trouble making friends, staying organized, and generally keeping up and fitting in. The parents would say “but he/she is so smart and everything was great in elementary school..” My mom would say, yes, but now they are a year behind in maturity/puberty and this is where is shows. By then it was too late and they just had to move forward as best as possible. Don’t rush it. Just let them be in the right grade. [/quote]
