That's awesome that your DD has friends and makes them easily in her current grade! It's nice to be coming from a place where, at least, your child is happy. Any chance she would be just as able to make friends and fit in with the older kids? I ask because my two kids also had a ton of friends in their more age-appropriate grade, but when they were grade and subject accelerated they just as easily made friends, only then they actually felt like they truly fit in and stopped hiding their academic abilities. Is that a possibility with your DD? Does she have a chance to be with older kids in any of her activities or free time? Does her maturity level change to reflect the environment that she's in (does she act like a 6-year-old with 6-year-olds and like an 8-year-old with 8-year-olds?)?

She thought she could, so she did.
