3) Guided imagry of all the homework that will be missed by skipping the grade.
Good one! Not sure why, but this reminds me of a conversation with my DS when he was in kindy complaining about school being boring, before the grade skip. He complained daily about going to school. I finally said to him that we would do our best to get him through school as quickly as possible. Fast forward to the second month after the grade skip to second, when we were still worried about whether it was a good idea. I asked DS what he thought of the skip, and he said it was great, and he thought he'd probably skip 3rd too....
