They do strongly suggest that if the child is not in favor of a skip (in new version) that it shouldn't be pursued. I, like others have suggested, feel that when children are very young, it is often the parent that has to do the "I know what's best" argument for my child and not rely on the perception of a very young child. Also, I can't stress enough, that just talking to the child about the advantages of the skip are more likely to lead to a child who is more accepting of the idea.
