You could read about negatives to acceleration under the "tell me about your child with depression" thread. So many posters on this site who have grade accelerated their kids provide later posts that their child is having behavioral problems or is now on medication for ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc.

Uh, wow. I am the OP in that thread, and my child IS NOT accelerated. Furthermore, I don't think anyone in the thread indicated that their child was accelerated. Actually, wait, someone did and then said that the problem got much better after a SECOND grade skip. In any case, correlation does not imply causation, folks. I'm angry on their behalf and on mine that you would come into that thread, lurk, and come in here to post about how they have screwed up their kids by accelerating.
