Gifted children need to explore subjects in a more in depth and challenging way and usually at a faster pace. Skipping may initial provide some challenges but unless your child is with other gifted students the environment may not be intellectually stimulating enough.My daughter, now in High School and although skipped and in advanced placement has never been excited in the classroom. She maintains excellent grades with little effort. Her interest in music is the thing that motivates her. I suggest exploring areas of interest to your child.When things come to easily they never develop study habits and don't learn self discipline. They get lazy in the classroom.
