Trinity and Kriston,
Subject acceleration for me was always positive. I grew up in a neighborhood with a large number of children so I think I was used to have friends at different ages. Also, our town is fairly small (smaller 30 years ago even). I never felt intimidated. Kriston, maybe it is a girl thing. I am not sure.
I think my daughter would be okay with it, too. We have a large extended family and a lot of exposure to children at different ages. Older children do not intimidate DD. If anything, she tends to migrate to them.
