Thank you for this post.
I worry all the time if I did the right thing by accelerating my DS8. So far so good but I worry about the long term affects.
Hi Traceyqns -
I wish that every child had access to school programs where they could be with age-peers who had equal academic readiness in their local neighborhoods. Then we wouldn't have to second guess ourselves. But for now, we try the best we can, and there will certainly be pros and cons to every situation. Try to remember that there is a tendency for grade-skipped kids to blame every bad thing on the gradeskip, and try to ask yourself, could something like this be happening in that alternate universe where we didn't do the skip?
Peace,
Grinity
