Miss 4 and Miss 7 are both skipping a grade. Miss 7 has a friend that has threatened to leave the school if she's not in the same class as Miss 7 next year. How should I handle this? And what types of responses should I help Miss 7 prepare when her friend comes out with this again? I suspect that both Miss 7 and Miss 4 are a little reluctant to go ahead with the grade skips due to peer pressure, fear of standing out, etc. so I feel like I need to formulate a "sales" pitch for both of them (?) Selling the skip on the school was the easy bit, but anyone else feel like they had to sell their own kids on the idea? jojo
