My title for the thread I admit, is misleading.  This is not about holding back a child because she is advanced. Being advanced is a symptom of her nature. Driven, not balanced and not interested in creative role playing as much as achievement. Advanced kids become average and vice versa - I get it. However, being well adjusted and balanced will hopefully contribute to good friendships and long term happiness along the way.

I agree with you though. Holding her back in Pre-K may backfire in other ways and be compounded by her need to overachieve in every situation.

I should have asked how to get her to just be a child and calm the f*$k down [/quote]

I'm going to give you the Carolyn Hax answer to any question involving "How can I get [somebody] to [change themselves in the way I want]?" Namely:  you can't.

Besides, she is a child, and so therefore by definition she is being a child, even if she is not doing the things you think being a child involves. If I were you, [b]I would think about my unwillingness to accept my daughter as the person she is[/b].[/quote]

!!!! I never thought about it this way. I really needed to hear this. wow[/quote]
