Some parental advice from all the lovely parentals? Non parentals also welcome :D

RE: Some parental advice from all the lovely parentals? Non parentals also welcome :D
I never skipped a whole grade, but did skip into a higher grade of math at one point. Not sure what precipitated that, because school was overall a struggle for me. But I don't think there was any pressure during that point. Some parents are lucky/skilled enough to have prodigies, or at least above average kids. I'd be one to nurture it, at least as long as I saw everything was going OK. Burnout's no good. But neither is overpacing.
