Our DDs acceleration meeting was on the last day of the school year. She was approved for a skip, but we had the whole summer to make our final decision. When we first approached our DD, she was against the skip, but we told her to not make any decisions and think about it. Not even a month later (and with out any prompting by us) she came up to us and said she thought about it and decided she was ready.

In hindsight, I am happy we involved DD in the decision making and that she bought into it so easily. Had she kept being resistant, we probably would have had to step up and make the decision to do it anyway.

Best of luck,
