Specific to a grade skip, I would make sure that you are ready for the adjustment from always having the top grades and the top test scores. I know that, eventhough I was very pleased to have my child be more middle-of-the-pack, it did take me slightly aback when she wasn't at the very top.
DS7 is
finally(?) struggling here and there, and I think it's harder for me than for him. And that's saying a lot because he is very sensitive about not having everything come to him so easily.
I'm glad, like Grinity said, we are facing this now and not waiting until college (which happened to me).
