Thanks everyone for the further thoughts in this thread, I've failed to convey my own thoughts very well I think... HKs first post speaks to why we did the first skip, a recent one of crickets is (sort of) why we're not keen on a second, but also pouts out a lots of things that just aren't relevant in Australia. Our DD is not back at crisis point yet, but she's scarily close for only 1 year into the skip. I am really not sure how to get her to highschool sane.
Ellemenope - our daughter really does not fit with age mates, being wih age peers was one on the major problems per skip. She's not socially or emotionally her physical age. She's most like children two years older. A lot of the reasons you list not to skip were reason why she was too different from age mates and needed a skip....
