Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy intro and ?s about educational needs per scores

You might want to take a look at www.nationdeceived.org/ if you haven't already. There are reasons not to place a child at their accademic readiness level, but social and emotional development isn't one of them.

Good for your older DD for being supportive of her little sister!

Thanks for the link, I read the first part and have changed my mind about grade acceleration. How can I refute evidence from those sources, it's purely selfish on my part to want to keep him that last year at this point. I forwarded it on to my sister in law too as her almost 4yo is sure to need acceleration.

thanks again,
