DS is going to be seven next month and is at science camp this week. We put him in the group with 7-9 year olds instead of 4-6 year olds, but he said he does not like how it feels being the youngest in the group. He said he likes being the oldest. The teacher also said he did not socialize with the kids yesterday. He is more of an extrovert so it really surprised me. I was hoping he would find a better fit with the older kids and more things in common, but he said when they were working on a group project yesterday the kids did not let him participate.
I know it was just the first day, but it has me rethinking if pursuing a skipping 1st grade for this school year is a good idea socially for him. Maybe being the oldest gives him more confidence to deal socially.
Again I wish it would be easier to figure out what to do...
