she still feels that he is doing very well in K because of his confidence, good peer interactions, etc. I do worry how his self-confidence would be effected if we pushed for 1st grade at this point.
Are you thinking about a mid-year skip? Or a skip to 2nd for next year?
I honestly have no idea. I feel totally lost as to how to proceeed. That's part of what I'm hoping the testing and psychologist can help me with. DS can be an anxious/follower type kid. In school, he has emerged as confident and a leader with his peers (though we see the perfectionism anxiety at home, ugh). The school has been LESS than helpful thus far. If we do look into a skip, it will be an uphill battle.
My biggest concern is that he NOT growing at all this year in class, so 2nd grade will be much more of a challenge than if he were actually getting accelerated work at school.
If we do subject acceleration, I would be thrilled.
