Hi, I have 3 questions that I was hoping to get some feedback on-

can someone point me to an article about grade skipping actually being better socially for a gifted child? I am getting some mixed signals from the school about a preschool skip to K that I am looking into.

what do you do for the sensitive (but brutish) gt girl who wont allow you to brush or comb her hair without a HUGE fuss? or, if she refuses to 'allow' barrettes or pony tail holders, same huge fuss, what then? Apparently they are not 'cool'. SHES FOUR!! I don't want to go short, but I don't want her to look like a rat's nest all the time.

Oh, and on the brutish part, we usually get tons of compliments on dd4's behavior at school, but then she can be really unbearable/loud/aggressive at home. Is this coming up for other folks, and how are you handling it?

thanks!
