I wouldn't say it was cold feet, but certainly a bit of nervousness. I think it is natural for a parent to worry that a decision they make with/for their child will actually make things worse rather than better.

Step back and remind yourself of why you pushed for the skip.

We were MUCH less nervous leading up to our DD's second grade skip (clarification: second of two, not 2nd grade itself. Though she did skip 2nd grade, but that was her first grade skip. But not her attempt to skip 1st grade, that was something different. Now I'm just babbling...), so maybe it gets easier?

Best of luck,

For gifted children, doing nothing is the wrong choice.
