mnmom23: Thank you for the support! It's always nice to run into another mom with tall children. They all seem to have dealt with the same issue of people expecting their child to act their size, instead of their age. It's certainly helped me to remember that one should never judge a book by its cover. And it's been good preparation for dealing with the challenges of asynchronous development. My child is still a 6-year-old, no matter how academically precocious he may be.
I'm so happy to hear that your kids were able to fit into whatever situation was required of them. That gives me hope! I feel confident that whatever happens with my son next year, his teachers and principal love him, and have his best interest at heart. They're well aware of his uncanny ability to see the humor in every situation, naughty or nice! LOL
