CFK, Because I am trying to fool myself into thinking that he will fit nicely into our public shool system if I can keep him from getting too far ahead. I guess I just need to get over the
denial.
I was in the same boat about the time DD was 2 or close to it. I found myself holding back information for fear of the future and we still believed we were sending DD to public school. Fast forward 2 years: definitely do not hold DD back now. Whatever she wants to learn about is fair game. She is into reading, math, foreign languages, science, etc. She goes to a private Spanish Immersion program full time which is academically 2 years ahead and is also learning French and Mandarin. She also started piano lessons this year. Most people would probably consider this an overkill but DD absorbs information. She craves it.
