DS4 is very athletic, obsessed with sports, and probably gifted, though he's different from his older sister who read as a baby. He'll start school at nearly six thanks to his fall birthday. I'd be open to a skip down the line but our experience around here makes me think he'd just get accelerated in math. He needs the time for social growth and drawing/writing (perfectionism is slowing him down I think). But I'm not concerned about him being in the wrong grade for sports. Our neighbor with very athletically gifted kids said it's just a bad fit until they're nearly ten, when they can join club sports by skill and enough other kids are as into it.
