[quote=Anonymous]Growing up there was a kid in my sister's class like your son. He was super smart, but young and small and it really hurt his confidence. He would get so overwhelmed at school that his hone life suffered. They had him repeat 2nd grade to fully develop the maturity needed to thrive. And thrive he did-- he graduated as the valedictorian and with 36 college credits. He was a great athlete and was popular. He went to the Naval Academy and had a fantastic career. And most importantly, he was so much happier. Your son is older, so it's different. I'd definitely talk to your son's teachers about their thoughts. I'd be more inclined to keep him at grade level. He can find his circle and will adapt to the bigger school. [/quote]
