[quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP- I could have written this post four years ago (down to the same birthday). DD took the EEK and was accepted early (despite the K team leader recommending that she not be).

I don't have the benefit of being many years away from this choice but at this point DD is doing fantastically and has since day one. She reads three grade levels above and is one of the highest performers in her class (in a high performing school). In kindergarten older kids asked her for help with work (and she happily gave it). I would have no problem admitting if DD hadn't done well. There was a social learning curve first few months of kindergarten- but I noticed that with many of the older kids too. That's no longer a problem for DD- she's highly social (lots of parties, play dates, etc.).

I couldn't imagine her having another year of pre-k. She's also is very tall for her age- so no one suspects that she's the youngest. She HATES being the youngest though- she turned 8 in September and there are 10 y/o's in her class. She'll have milestones later than everyone else- but oh well. She'll have to just get over that.

Good luck, OP![/quote]
