As usual, Val, a pithy post with sobering points to ponder.

General maturity (i was that class clown) and EF are things that I struggled with as a child to be honest and as my DD is a mini-me, your points have struck a chord.

My DD is only skipped one grade but is probably 4 years ahead with Maths aleady and is fully capable of comprehending higher level humanities but one of the main reasons that we currently do not want to skip another grade is that her EF development is lagging her rate of cognitive growth.

Not to jack the original post and take it on a tangent but did want to say that I think that you have hit the nail on the head with your post above.
