My DD will be skipping from private K into the second grade (public gifted program) this upcoming school year at a new school where she will not know anyone.
Every time i come across threads on redshirting, i become very anxious and second guess the decision we have made to skip her. "My kid is smart, but holding him back 1 year was the best decision i made." "There is no such thing as being bored anymore because schools do a great job of recognizing different levels." This is when i start panicking and wonder if I'm going to mess her up socially.
Did anyone have cold feet before a grade skip?
