Thanks so much to you both. Yes, she is extremely empathetic and actually when I reflect, one of the little girls in the initial days of school was having a lot of separation anxiety from her mother. Now she doesn't as her mother tells me she looks forward to seeing DD. Also, yes, we are considering acceleration and my concern was that she would miss her friends she has made. I have been in the classroom and much of what is done is what DD has already done some years ago. I cannot see what she is learning except about the school environment, routines, socialisation with age peers etc - which of course is valuable in itself.
