[quote=Anonymous]OP, my DD sounds like she was similar at that age. She started K at age 4 (turned 5 in November). She always excelled academically, but the older she was, the more we noticed that socially and emotionally she was not as mature as the other kids This became more apparent and pronounced through middle school. My DD ended up voluntarily repeating a year of middle school (at a different school) and it was absolutely the best thing we ever did for her. She told us that she finally felt like she was in school with kids the same age as her (and there were still many that were older in her class), and she got everything she needed academically. She ended up top of her class and went on to an Ivy, and recognizes that she made better friendships after she was held back. I would STRONGLY encourage you to keep your DD with her age cohort. I have never talked to a parent that regretted it, but have talked to some that regretted accelerating their child.[/quote]
