[quote=Anonymous]I would not hold back at your child's age. Our son, who was incredibly bright, was moved from first to third grade and he flourished. When he completed fourth grade, they wanted to move him to sixth grade and we declined because by then his social skills and maturity were more of a factor to consider. He excelled through high school and got admission to one of the select schools. He is now a resident at one of the top medical school programs for his specialty. So, the lesson in it for us was that social maturity is a factor but it becomes more relevant as a child grows older in terms of how he/she will fit in with other kids.[/quote]
