I just wish she had a peer group, like I did, for the acceleration or grade skip. She is in the 15th percentile for height, as of her early Sept physical. So she is generally a foot shorter than kids in the second grade. She has some friends in the second grade that have birthdays around the same time, so they are just a year older and they are so much bigger. I am not worried so much in the early grades, it is more fitting in those beginning hormonal ages in middle school and how much she would feel the need to fit in.
I was reading about the influence a parent has on a child and peer pressure is much more influential on the scale, according to some study. I know that is average and depends on the child. But since we are seeing so many stories about bullying and suicide, I do not want to underestimate the peer pressure on a child that skips grades alone.
Right now the pace is working with the accelerated math.
