I agree with Grinity. You need to look at it from all angles and decide what works best for him. Some kids do well with subject acceleration, for others a full grade skip works best. A lot of it depends on the childs personality.

I think that you are absolutely correct in including your son in the discussions. Transitions of any sort are much easier if your child feels like he has input into the choices being made. My DS is 7 and has commented on how hard it is to be smart as well.

Best of luck to you and your son moving forward.
